Bucksport recreation director to leave; town posts part‑time replacement
Summary
Recreation director Matt McGinnis told the Parks and Recreation Board he has given notice and will join the local RSU as a middle‑school physical‑education teacher; the town posted the part‑time recreation director role and prefers candidates with local ties to manage volunteers and summer programs.
Matt McGinnis, Bucksport’s recreation director, told the Parks and Recreation Board he has given notice to the YMCA and will take a position with the local school unit. "I'll be joining the ERCU as the PE teacher for the middle school," McGinnis said during the special meeting.
Board members said the town has posted a part‑time recreation director position (listed on Indeed) and prefers candidates who have ties to Bucksport because the job requires recruiting and managing volunteers. Matt Montgomery said the opening is flexible: part time during the school year with the possibility of a fuller summer schedule depending on the candidate and on whether the town pool reopens in future years.
Montgomery and other board members offered to provide transition support, including candidate contacts and operational guidance, and thanked McGinnis for his service since February 2020. The board expects to coordinate with the town, the RSU and the YMCA on next steps and reconvene when plans are set.
