Board approves special‑education director and several staff appointments
Summary
The board approved a motion to hire Jan Riser as special education director (July 1, 2025–June 30, 2028) and approved hiring and rate approvals for a prek–5 principal and central office and hourly staff for 2025–26.
The Millinocket Public Schools board approved multiple personnel actions, including the hiring of a special education director and approvals of principals and hourly staff rates for the upcoming school years.
The board moved to hire Jan Riser as special education director effective July 1 with a term through June 30, 2028, under the terms of a memorandum of understanding with the Medway Department; the motion was seconded and approved. The motion language as recorded specified salary and benefits would be negotiated according to the memorandum.
In subsequent motions the board approved Joanna Mary as prek–5 principal (July 1, 2025–June 30, 2028) and approved hourly rates for a central office assistant (hourly rate read into the record) and a special secretary (Michelle McG) at $24.70 per hour for the 2025–26 school year. These actions were moved, seconded and approved in sequence.
Why it matters: Leadership and staffing appointments affect school programming, special education services and central office operations. The special education director appointment formalizes district leadership for special education through the 2027–28 school year, subject to negotiated terms.
The motions were recorded and approved in the public portion of the meeting; the transcript does not include a formal roll‑call listing individual board member votes for each personnel motion.
