RSU 26 approves advertising for $4,000 game-manager stipend as part of athletic director restructure
Summary
The RSU 26 board approved a plan to revert administrative athletic duties to the middle school principal while creating a paid game-manager/supervisor role with a $4,000 stipend; the board authorized advertising for the new position, voting unanimously.
RSU 26 board members approved moving forward with a restructuring of athletic duties that would return some administrative responsibilities to the middle school principal and create a separate, stipend-backed game-manager/supervisor role.
Meredith explained the recommendation and the rationale: earlier arrangements had the middle school principal performing some or all athletic-director duties, later changes separated game supervision and administrative functions, and the district would now revert to a model where the principal handles administrative parts while a paid game manager supervises events. Meredith said the stipend proposed for the game-manager/supervisor role is $4,000, based on the district’s review of how many events occur annually and prior use of hired game supervisors for high-event days.
Chair moved to authorize creation and advertising of the game-manager position so the district can recruit candidates; the board approved that motion 5-0. The board discussion emphasized operational reasons: freeing principals from being the on-site supervisor at events so they can focus on school responsibilities and ensuring consistent event coverage when multiple events occur simultaneously.
The board characterized the action as authorization to advertise and recruit; final hiring and contract terms will follow human-resources and superintendent procedures.
