Votes at a glance: RSU 10 board actions and motions from the meeting
Here are the formal motions and outcomes recorded at the RSU 10 meeting (action text is quoted where available):

- "Accept adjustments to the agenda." — Motion made by Peter DePhillip, seconded by Lisonbee Long. Outcome: approved.

- "Act to rescind policies AC, ACAA, ACAB, and JIE and revert them back to the prior 2020 Title IX language of policies AC, ACAA, ACAB." — Motion made by Kristen Chapman, seconded by Darcy Klein. Outcome: failed (board vote recorded as multiple no votes; matter remains with the policy committee).

- Approve the minutes of the March school board meeting as written — Motion made by Peter DePhillip, seconded by Aaron. Outcome: approved.

- Motion to allow Cam (name on file) to serve as a volunteer assistant coach for Buckfield middle-school softball (no stipend) — Motion made by Chad Cullerton, seconded by Dan Hodge. Outcome: approved (one abstention recorded). Board counsel and statute were discussed; the board authorized a volunteer assistant role with no paid stipend.

- Postpone action on a teacher's 2025–26 sabbatical request pending clarification on funding sources and contract implications — Motion to amend/postpone made by Kristen Chapman, seconded by Aaron. Outcome: postponed; board discussion noted legal guidance that sabbatical pay cannot be charged to federal (Title) funds.

- First reading: revised FB Facilities Planning policy — Motion to act on first reading made by Peter DePhillip, seconded by Allison. Outcome: approved for first reading.

- Nominations and administrative contract actions: the board acted on a series of superintendent nominations and contract continuations for administrators (individual names and results recorded on the official minutes). Some contract-extension timing was discussed and one extension item was postponed for additional executive-session review.

Why it matters: These votes advance the districts budget process, formalize personnel decisions, and determine next steps for policy review and administration. Several votes also required follow-up administrative and legal work (policy-committee review, confirmation of volunteer onboarding, and budget rework).
