Rockport committee approves appointment of Anne Marie Luster as director of student services pending contract
Summary
The Rockport School Committee voted to accept the superintendent's recommendation to appoint Anne Marie Luster as director of student services pending contract negotiations; the committee recorded voice approval and congratulated the nominee.
Superintendent Mark Branko recommended removing the ‘interim’ title and appointing Anne Marie Luster as the district’s director of student services. Branko praised Luster’s early performance, saying she has “done a remarkable job in a really quick amount of time,” and asked for the committee’s support to begin contract negotiations.
A motion to accept the superintendent’s recommendation was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote as recorded in the transcript. The committee offered congratulations. Branko noted that contract finalization remains pending and that the appointment is contingent on successful negotiations.
Committee members asked for opportunity to review advocacy letters and background materials included in the committee packet; the superintendent referenced letters of support from the district leadership team and a state-level coach advising Luster. The transcript contains variant spellings of the appointee’s surname (both “Luster” and “Lester” appear); the committee should confirm the official spelling in its minutes and personnel records.
Next step: Human Resources will proceed with contract negotiations and return to the committee when negotiations are complete.
