The Putnam Board of Education on June 29 unanimously appointed Hannah Rivers as Business Administrator, effective Oct. 13, 2026, and approved a Secretaries’ Contract Agreement covering 2026–2029.
The appointment came after Superintendent Steven Rioux introduced Rivers as the hiring committee’s recommended candidate and the board held a short executive session to interview her. Board Secretary Monique Mailloux moved to enter executive session; the motion, seconded by Julie Blouin, passed unanimously. The executive session began at 6:05 PM, Rivers was invited to attend at 6:07 PM, and the session concluded at 6:09 PM.
After returning to open session, Board member Julie Blouin moved to appoint Hannah Rivers to the business administrator position with an effective date of Oct. 13, 2026. Elizabeth Beman seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The board immediately followed with a separate motion — made by Monique Mailloux and seconded by Julie Blouin — to approve the Secretaries’ Contract Agreement for 2026–2029 “as presented.” That motion also passed unanimously.
The special meeting convened at 6:00 PM in the Joseph V. Pempek Memorial Conference Room. Attendance was recorded as Elizabeth Beman, Julie Blouin, Jamie Heath, Monique Mailloux, Michael Morrill, Chris Stewart and Jill Zangerl; Frances Bousquet and Chad Neal were absent. Jamie Heath moved to adjourn at 6:11 PM; Elizabeth Beman seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
No additional details about the terms of the Secretaries’ Contract Agreement were included in the meeting record. The board record identifies Steven Rioux as superintendent and Monique Mailloux as board secretary. The board did not record individual roll-call votes; minutes state the motions passed unanimously.
