RSU 18 board elects Chelsea as chair during organizational meeting
Summary
At the Aug. 5 RSU 18 organizational meeting, the board elected a member identified in the transcript as 'Chelsea' as chair after a nomination and single-candidate vote. The transcript records the winner's surname inconsistently; the board declared the motion carried.
The RSU 18 school board elected "Chelsea" as its new chair during an organizational meeting on Aug. 5, 2026, following nominations and a vote. After one nominee remained on the floor, the presiding officer called the vote and declared the motion carried.
Board members nominated several candidates and several nominees declined, leaving a single candidate for the position. The meeting record shows the motion carried and the chair announced the result; the transcript alternately records the elected chair's surname as "Oliver" and "Hoover." The board did not provide a consistent surname in the meeting record, so the transcript identifies the chair only by first name. The chair then presided over the remainder of the meeting.
The election took place at the start of the rescheduled organizational meeting. Members present participated in nominations and confirmations before moving on to vice-chair nominations and regular business.
