RSU 26 board names two behavioral support hires after executive session
Summary
After a closed executive session, the RSU 26 board authorized contracts for Sylvia Farrell as assistant principal/behavior support specialist and approved contracting for a board-certified assistant behavioral analyst following a nomination; both actions passed unanimously.
The RSU 26 School Board voted to authorize two personnel contracts following an executive session on appointments.
Chair convened the board into executive session under the cited personnel exception and the board discussed two hires. After returning to the public meeting, Meredith nominated Sylvia Farrell for the ASOC assistant principal/behavior support specialist role. The board voted to authorize the superintendent to enter into a contract with Sylvia Farrell; the motion passed 5-0.
Meredith then nominated Austin Robbins for the board-certified assistant behavioral analyst / PCA position. The board moved to authorize the superintendent to enter into a contract for that position and approved the motion 5-0. The transcript’s motion text contains a garbled rendering of the nominee’s name in one line; Meredith’s nomination names Austin Robbins explicitly.
Both appointments were handled as personnel actions under the executive-session authority cited at the meeting. The board noted that a member (Mark Brewer) had joined during the executive session. No public comments were recorded on these appointments.
The board’s actions were procedural approvals to enter into contracts; the superintendent was authorized to finalize agreements and execute related hiring steps.
