Select Board approves HR actions: school‑committee designation and staff promotions
Summary
The Select Board designated elected school committee positions as 'special municipal employees' under state conflict‑of‑interest law, and approved promotions: Rebecca Cain to financial analyst and Kelly Callow as Health Director.
The Littleton Select Board approved several human‑resources items: a policy designation, a promotion and a hiring action.
Michelle Vibert, Human Resources Director, explained that a currently elected school committee member has applied for an appointed town job and has filed the required disclosure. The board voted to designate the position of elected school committee member as a special municipal employee under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 268A §1. Vibert explained the designation applies to the position, not a named individual, and that any school committee member seeking an appointed post must file appropriate disclosure forms; the designation can be revoked by the board in future if needed.
Separately, the board approved the promotion of Rebecca (Becky) Cain from payroll and finance coordinator to financial analyst at grade 10 step 6 effective July 20, 2026, citing a pay‑step adjustment to avoid a pay reduction. The board also approved the appointment of Kelly Callow as Health Director at grade 16 step 7 effective July 14, 2026; Callow outlined her 10 years of public‑health experience and said she grew up in Littleton though is a Maynard resident now.
Why it matters: The designation clarifies conflict‑of‑interest handling for elected school committee members who take appointed town roles. The appointments fill staffing needs in finance and public health during a period of personnel changes across town departments.
