Board says yes: James H. Bean School to host Sydney voting on June 9; students to attend Camp Tracy
Summary
RSU 18 approved a request to let the Town of Sydney use James H. Bean School as a polling site on June 9; the board agreed students at that school will be transported to Camp Tracy for the day and staff will perform sweeps and secure classrooms during the election.
The RSU 18 board approved a request to allow the Town of Sydney to use James H. Bean School as a polling location for the June 9 election. The superintendent described a plan to relocate students from Dean School to Camp Tracy for a day of outdoor activities and to retain custodial staff for security and sweeps during the event.
Board members discussed logistics including ADA access, limited parking, and post‑election security sweeps; one member proposed asking Sydney to pay the district’s costs in future instances, but the motion on this occasion was to grant the request and the vote carried. The superintendent said the town clerk must still secure state approval of the polling site layout (ADA accommodations and other requirements) and that staff will lock classrooms and perform a sweep after voting.
