Summary
Summary of formal motions and outcomes recorded at the RSU 10 school board meeting, including agenda changes, personnel contract actions, policy first readings, and volunteer coaching approval.
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 district—s 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).
