The RSU 60/MSAD 60 Board Meeting held on May 15, 2025, focused on several key employment updates, including the approval of teacher contracts and nominations for new positions within the district.

The board unanimously approved a teacher's contract, followed by the nomination of two pre-kindergarten teachers. Lisa Dinsmore, currently a library educational technician at Hussey School, was nominated for a position at Hanson School in Lebanon. Angela Boston, a pre-kindergarten teacher with 17 years of experience, was also nominated for the same school. Both nominations received unanimous support from the board.

The meeting also addressed resignations, including Emily Courier, a social worker in Lebanon, who resigned effective immediately due to unforeseen circumstances. Samantha Magoole, a second-grade teacher at Hanson School, announced her resignation effective at the end of the school year for another position. Additionally, Tamara McCormick, a long-serving physical education teacher at North Berwick Elementary School, submitted her retirement after 42 years in the district. The board expressed gratitude for her contributions over the years.

Superintendent updates included the announcement of the upcoming Special Olympics event, which was rescheduled due to weather conditions. The board recognized Erin Dolley, the music and choir teacher at Lebanon and Hanson Elementary Schools, for being named Maine's Music Educator of the Year.

Looking ahead, the board discussed upcoming meetings, including a regular meeting on June 5 and a special meeting on June 12 to sign documentation related to the budget vote scheduled for June 10. The board also planned a workshop for July 17 and discussed potential meeting dates in August.

In a financial update, the superintendent provided details on the district's reconfiguration plan, clarifying the impact on staffing. Out of the positions affected by a reduction in force, only four staff members were left without positions, thanks to retirements and unfilled roles allowing for internal reassignments.

The meeting concluded with discussions about finalizing arrangements for a town hall meeting in Lebanon, which is still in progress. Overall, the meeting highlighted significant staffing changes and preparations for future events within the district.
