So, um and I don't know if you've noticed, if you looked at the agenda, but um there are quite a few names there. There are so many students um that we're really proud to be able to celebrate. And I want to do a little differently this year, so the board has a chance to learn from the students, cuz I think just having you stand up here isn't really the beauty of it. It's sharing a little bit about your experience of at Camden Hills. So,
003that's giving you time to prepare. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. So, I'm going to start again rather than you listening to me share names, they're going to say their names.

004of them to talk a little bit. And so, ha, let's just say that the first thing I would love for you to share is your name. Each of these students as honor graduates have received the highest achievement academic achievement at Camden Hills. And at Camden Hills, that means that they have at least a 98 or higher for GPA, which is exemplary given that this is the largest honor graduate class that we have ever had at Camden Hills. Yes, that's deserving of an applause. The student body is amazing. >> [applause] >> Absolutely amazing. Record-breaking in so many different ways and I'll talk a little bit more about that tonight. So, from a 98 all the way up to almost 106 and super impressive. I'm so proud of these um exceptional seniors. So, if you could share
005All right, just want to make sure they're okay with the improv here.

Um we work
010to enhance social opportunities for students with disabilities and it was a really wonderful opportunity. I feel like I learned a lot and it made a really big impact and I'm hoping it continues in the following years. >> That's great. >> [applause] >> Thank you all the graduates. I appreciate it. Thanks for kicking us off with style. WELL DONE. >> [applause] >> ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE agenda and again I don't always know who is here so I I hope um there is there are individuals that can come down as well. So next up is SkillsUSA. Are there any students here? [snorts] So oh yeah. Awesome. WALK ON. >> [applause] >> ALL RIGHT. SO, UM SkillsUSA is a really cool honor um that we have uh not just at Camden Hills, but throughout the state. So,
011students from each of their regional um technical career and technical education institutes send three students to the main event. So, three individuals from MCST represented us in each of the fields. Then they compete. Um and then only the top student in the state represents Maine at nationals. Where is nationals? No idea. >> Atlanta, right? >> Is it Atlanta this year? >> Always. >> Georgia. Somewhere warmer, but we're excited for her. And again, I think it's in June. So, um SkillsUSA, again, without a doubt, an extraordinary uh accomplishment, and I would love for you to tell a little bit more. >> All right, it's different. >> It's my favorite section. >> Okay. Um hi, my name is Gabby. I competed in SkillsUSA last year with my medical science class. So, four of us went down to
012compete in something called the health knowledge bowl. Essentially, we were asked a random question, multiple choice, and we had to come up with an answer. So, could be anything from calculating dosages to anatomy and physiology, pathology, anything we would have covered in our medical science course. And we ended up getting second place. So, it's a super exciting opportunity. >> Very cool. [applause] So, again, just to represent only three people from MCST for each of the fields um compete, but again, rec- being recognized at the state level is quite an accomplishment. So, now it's your turn to get questions from the board. Well done. >> You know, the people students who go through the the medical program or health sciences, they follow a variety of different paths. Do you know kind of what you plan [snorts]
013to use this for in in future? >> Oh, sorry. Thank you. Yes, so this coming year I'm going to be entering medical school in Spain. So, it's a direct entry program, 6 years, and I'll graduate with the equivalent of an MD. >> Oh, nice. >> Wow. >> [applause] >> Thank you, Gabby. Nice job. >> Yeah. >> Congratulations. >> [applause] >> Love that. Love that. All righty, uh, Seal of Biliteracy, come on down. I'm back. Shouldn't have talked to you before. You need to sit down. This is going to be a really interesting group, so I can't wait to talk about these kiddos. Okay. Um, again, this is my record-breaking time. So, uh, if you don't know anything about the Seal of Biliteracy, we are a school that embraces it um, in many levels. So, last
014year I was really proud to report that we had our first opportunity for students to have it in multiple languages. Uh, this year we have a new milestone to celebrate. So, first I wanted to share that it's a national recognition. It's not just in the state of Maine, but it's recognized nationally for exemplary proficiency in their native language, English, and in a non-native language. And at Camden Hills, we typically recognize French and Spanish. And so, last year I was super proud because we had students with both. Um this year, we have French, Spanish, Latin, and Czech. Again, two different areas. Super proud of our Latin program. It has been growing over the years, um and that recognition is well deserved. So, they In order to receive it, it's an oral and a written um assessment.
015And to achieve it and celebrating these wonderful individuals is not just about the language achievement, but also the cultural awareness. So, can you please start with Craig congratulating our Seal of Biliteracy kiddos for 2026. >> [applause] [applause] >> All right. So, they're going to introduce themselves, share which Seal of Biliteracy they've achieved, and then what they're excited about using that Seal of Biliteracy for. So, we've had students that have not just studied abroad, they've started their college experience um in Spain, which sounds wonderful. So, I'm not sure what they're thinking, but I'd love for them to share. >> Yeah. Okay. Um I am in Biliterate in Spanish, um and I'm planning on minoring in in it in college, um and I also really want to go abroad, so. Oh, and Cara. >> [applause] >> I'M
016BELLA, AND I ALSO GOT THE SEAL of Biliteracy for Spanish, and I'm excited to use it for just traveling, traveling to Spanish-speaking countries, just learn knowing the language and being able to connect with people through the language. >> [applause] >> Hi, I'm Gabby. I have the Spanish Seal of Biliteracy, and I'm excited to use it to be able to communicate with my peers in university. >> [applause] >> Hi, I'm Raya. I also have Spanish Seal of Biliteracy. I'm really excited to hopefully study abroad and travel and use Spanish to be able to connect with more people. >> [applause] >> Um I'm Ethan. I also have the Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish and I'm just excited to use it when I travel or if I study abroad later. >> [applause] >> I'm Calder. I received the
017Seal of Biliteracy in Latin. Slightly less applicable than the other ones, so I'm not totally sure. >> [applause] >> I'm Olivia. I got my Seal of Biliteracy in French and I'm considering adding a minor in French. >> [applause] >> Um I'm Maddie. I got my Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish and I'm entering a program next year where we do a lot of traveling, like we go to a different country each year, so I think that will help me, hopefully. >> [applause] >> Anybody have any questions for this group? >> How'd you choose Latin? >> Yeah, I was going to ask that, too. >> Uh I we'd taken Spanish all throughout elementary and middle school and I knew I wanted to try something different and we were getting the high school got a new Latin teacher
018in my freshman year, so my current AP Latin class is part of his founding class and I just I thought that would be an interesting thing to do. >> Very cool. Calder, did you have to do any speaking to get the Seal of Biliteracy? >> No, I had a much easier time than the rest of my peers. >> [laughter] >> Their tests had, I believe, three or four sections. Ours only had one section. It was only reading. >> I do >> you're also a Merit Finalist so perhaps it helped on the SATs. Just saying, right? Perhaps root origin? >> Yeah. We know about that. We know about that. >> Nice job everyone. Congratulations. >> [applause] >> All right, I'm going to combine the next two groups actually. Um I didn't get I didn't get a
019funny look so I could do that. Okay. I'm going to combine the next two groups. So um National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society, the newest inductees, come on down. Awesome. Come on down. >> [applause] >> So NHS um our chills, National Honor Society and then National Technical Honor Society from MCST. These members are recognized for the four pillars that involve the National the NHS, scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Their work in and beyond the classroom reflects not only the academic achievement but also their commitment to service for others, leading with integrity, and contributing to their community. So I'd love for them to introduce themselves and then maybe say what they do for their service cuz that's always a really cool part we don't get to hear much about. >> I'll start. >> Um
020I'm Layla and I'm part of NTHS and NHS. I just got inducted to NTHS. Um but what I do for my service is I help out at a bunch of different locations. I help um at like bike races. My dad owns a bike shop, so I help at all those bike races, and I help a bunch of kids at different like change There's a program called Changemakers, and I help there, and I just really help all over the place. I'm kind OF ALL OVER. >> [applause] >> HI, MY NAME'S CORA. UM I volunteer with with uh uh club called Pals, and I spend a lot of time one-on-one with um a third-grader over at the elementary school. And this um April I also had the opportunity to travel to the Dominican Republic and work in
021a um elementary school and communicate with them and just teach them over the course of a week. >> [applause] >> Um hi, I'm Audrin Summers, and I just got into NHS, and um a lot of my like service hours are from um I'm a part of like the Lions Club, so I'm a Leo, and we do a lot of volunteer work and stuff. So like I know I think in the spring we go pick up trash on the streets, and like we've made blankets for um people in the nursing home and like sent letters out to like like soldiers in the military and stuff. So I'd say that's majority of my my hours. And then I also like I go and help like elderly people do their dishes and stuff. So yeah. >> [applause] >>
022Are the pillars the same for NHS and the National Technical Honor Society? >> My research said yes. >> Great. >> That's why I lumped them together. >> Yeah. >> It's a very similar speech. Yeah. Yeah. Um so they do have different recognition at the graduation ceremony. So, uh, the technical honor society has, you see the gray stole. Um, and our NHS this year for the first year, come on Bailey, help me out. It's a it's two different color cords. So, we what is it? >> Blue and gold. >> Yeah. So, uh, when you look at the graduation program, just to eliminate confusion, we list all of the different colors and make sure you know exactly what we're recognizing. So, awesome. >> Cool. >> Congratulations. CONGRATULATIONS. >> [applause] >> MR. ALBERT. WE HAVE a ton of
023things to recognize, um, at the program level and also the individual level for band. It has been accumulating actually over the past few weeks. Um, so we're super excited for Mr. Albert to be here. So, um, humbly he's going to talk a little bit about his program, which I know he doesn't really do a lot of that. In fact, many of these awards have not been shared yet publicly, um, because they just keep bringing home the hardware. It's exceptional and we're super proud of them. So, Drew, >> Help me out. >> I'll try my best to speak humbly. Um, the kids would like that joke. >> Yeah. Okay. Hi. Um, so, thank you for having me tonight. Um, Will Libby, John Curtis, board, really appreciate the opportunity to be able to share all the amazing
024things that the music department, uh, has been able to do this year. I know this community does not take music education for granted and we thank you for that. Um, and we have some really awesome, uh, experiences to share with you. So, uh, if you don't know who I am, I'm Drew Albert, uh the choir director and teach general music at uh Camden Hills along with my colleague, Craig Willett, who is coaching baseball right now. So, he said I was pinch-hitting for him, so that's what I'm doing. Um he's usually the talker, and I just stand here. Um Anyways, um so for the um full program kind of acknowledgements that we wanted to make tonight, the jazz band and concert bands um under the direction of Mr. Willett performed at the MBDA, which is the
025Maine Band Directors Association Winter Festival um this year, and they performed at Merrill Auditorium, which is this beautiful uh if you haven't been, this beautiful performing space in City Hall in Portland. Um and just so I get these right, they uh they play a set, and then they're critiqued by judges, uh and they receive a gold, silver, or bronze rating. Uh and I'm happy to celebrate that both jazz band and concert band received the highest gold rating, and jazz band was also uh received a gold rating and selected for outstanding musicianship award. So, that is concert band and jazz band. >> [applause] >> If you're in either of those ensembles, could you give give a wave? I'll bring you all down here in a second, so. Congratulations to those people. >> [applause] >> Um the
026Camden Hills instrumental and vocal um ensembles went to the Great East Festival, which was held at um the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. Um again, like MBDA, we performed for judges, and they give out a certain rating from uh bronze, silver, gold, and platinum at this one. Um so, I'm happy to say that the concert band uh received a gold rating, and the jazz band and choral, and choral is all three of the um vocal ensembles received a platinum rating, uh which means we got a rating of 98 out of 100 or higher. Um I'll let you >> [applause] [applause] >> Uh we have a lot of individuals to recognize and there's a full list of all those individuals and all those different festivals that were accepted throughout this the year. But we have a
027bunch of them here so I'm going to call them down and they'll introduce themselves and tell you which festival that they were into. So come on, don't roll your eyes, come on down. Uh and let me just tell you a little bit about how honors festivals work. So they're all basically the same thing where you prepare an audition and then you kind of go into a room and there's someone sitting in the corner and you sing at them or you play at them. Uh and the range of the audition music is different at each one of these. Some are more challenging than others and then you go and you work with a guest conductor, someone who's usually nationally renowned conductor for a few days. Um district three, which we have a lot of representation for
028today is kind of mid-coast central Maine area and that's a two-day festival. And then there's all-state, which as the name suggests is all of the state goes and is auditions and the kids who are selected from that come from all the way from York to Fort Kent. It's really cool. That's held at the University of Maine in Orono over the course of three days. Uh and then also all Eastern, which is 12 states in the Eastern region and we have some represent representation from that group as well here with you tonight. I'm going to let them introduce themselves and let you know which honors ensembles they were in and you can look at the minutes to see all of the students who were involved in those festivals. >> I'm Caitlin. I was part of the
029jazz band concert band and I also did district three for concert band. >> [applause] >> I'm Wiley and I'm part of the jazz band and concert band and I did district 3 for percussion, all state for percussion and jazz all state for bass guitar. >> [applause] >> My name's Cara Kross and uh I'm in choral as well as concert band and I did district 3 for treble choir. >> [applause] >> Um I'm Clara and I did all states, district 3, and all Eastern um this year. >> [applause] >> I'm Izzy and I'm a part of the jazz band, concert band, and choral and I did D3, all states, and all Eastern this year. >> [applause] >> Um I keep I'm Keely.

I'm in chamber and I did all Eastern and great East. >> [applause] >> Hey y'all, I'm Freddy Bernaska. I'm a bass two in the honors chamber singers and I was in district 3. >> [applause] >> Hello, my name's Soren Lanfear and I um just did concert band. >> [applause] >> Final round of applause for ALL
031OF YOU. >> [applause] >> WELL DONE. THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE A NATURAL. >> I just rolled right in there. >> Okay. >> All right. So, that was our student recognition portion and now to our amazing staff. Um and the first person Sure that I'm following. If Jude Monsieur could come on down and join me up front. >> [applause] [applause] >> You might not recognize her. She doesn't have her cart. If you've ever been at Camden Hills and you are in the way, watch out because she does not have one room. She has multiple rooms and therefore whenever you see her going by with her, what's the cart say on it? It's disconnect to connect. Um whenever you see that, you should follow it cuz really cool learning is about to happen. That I can guarantee.
032Jude is up here because it is a pleasure to celebrate her as Knox County Teacher of the Year. So, we're going to stop right here and make sure that we recognize her for that. >> [applause] >> I agree. I AGREE. >> [applause] >> THAT'S HOW I FELT RIGHT THERE. IT'S LIKE hands up, celebrate. So, let me share a little bit about her. So, first and foremost, it it's a pleasure because Jude exemplifies what makes Camden Hills exceptional. She brings creativity and dedication to every part of our school. She has taught all levels of English, dabbled a little bit with social studies, which actually is her main trade. We convinced her that she needed to be staying in the English department. And she has taught everything from experiential classes that foster hands-on learning and squeezes in
033some resume writing to advanced placement that inspires students to actually love research. Who thought that could happen? Under her leadership, our AP Capstone program has thrived with enrollment more than tripling and students approaching AP research with purpose and pride. Jude consistently steps in where needed, anywhere that it's needed. Our Give Back Day is a great example of that. Not to mention she continued Win Planners initiative when a valued colleague retired. And she supports track and field. Other ways that you can see her is out with her passion with running. She brings that to the to the high school and shares it with her students. The image of Jude and her cart captures her at her best. And what I mean by that is that she's not limited by classroom walls or titles. It didn't matter
034if it was English or social studies or a coach or an advisor. She meets students where they are. She broadens their sense of possibility. And she helps them move forward, most importantly, with confidence. Thank you, Jude, for the extraordinary energy, which I'm sure that you know that, the imagination, and the care that you bring to Camden Hills. This recognition is extremely well deserved. Brad, congratulations on representing our school as Knox County Teacher of the Year. >> [applause] >> Did she get votes? >> [applause] >> Jude, do you want to I'm not by literate. I'm not going anywhere next year. >> to take the >> [laughter] >> You're not going to take the Latin exam? Uh so, for those who don't weren't here last month, uh Jude was before the board talking about all the ways
035that she and other educators are pursuing experiential learning opportunities at the school and you know, every time I've gone to her classroom, it's just been so inspiring to to see what what you were doing. Being on the curriculum committee, you're always coming in thinking about ways that you can really engage every student uh through innovative courses. I've been at zoo and she's like rolled in with like 35 kids, you know, for some kind of interview project. So, this is just so well deserved and uh the not the teacher of the year program in Maine is is different than a lot of states. A lot of states don't do county teachers of the year. We're special that we do that and then these county teachers of the year uh continue to move on and Jude could
036be our Maine state teacher of the year. We're rooting for you. Congratulations. >> [applause] >> Um I'm not sure if the next two people here are here, which totally makes sense because they do not like the spotlight, but we're going to recognize them nonetheless. Um there's two uh two individuals we recognize um anyone who's retiring, who's had more than 10 years um within our district. And so, the first person we'd like to recognize is within the special education department. Um and she's one of those quiet heroes in our school. So, Jill Morton and to share a little bit about Jill is uh Jess Yates. >> [applause] >> Uh evening. I'm Jess Yates, the director of special education, and I'm honored to recognize Jill Morton for 20 years of service to the district. In order for
037you to fully appreciate Jill's work on behalf of our students, I want to help you understand a little bit about the transitional life skills program. In this program, students not only work on building academic skills and attaining credits for graduation, but they also work on developing functional skills in the areas of daily living, community participation, and pre-employment. The infrastructure required to support that latter realm is significant. The program must procure materials, prepare activities, and maintain a living working classroom community that encompasses kitchen activities, leisure activities, and even self-care skills. Jill has been integral to our students' learning journeys, arriving early to ensure the classroom environment is organized and ready for students each day. In addition, her pragmatic approach to the collection of tracking of and tracking of data in areas ranging from student performance to
038class activity funds has been invaluable to the program. Jill Jill is also truly the queen of logistics and has worked tirelessly to support the program's need for materials and other resources to support the students' functional skill development. Her work also extends beyond the program to the larger school community. Most recently, she led the transformation of the wellness room into a pleasant and welcoming space for our 8th and 9th grade uh transition meetings. Overall, our special ed team has been so lucky that Jill has decided to devote her time and energy to our students and our school, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors. THANKS, JILL. >> [applause] >> WATCH OUT, JILL. WE HAVE AN ASSEMBLY ON FRIDAY, and we're going to we're going to probably bring you up on stage. So,
039I I know if she's watching this tonight, but fair warning, Um we're going to celebrate you. I know that you like to stay in the lime stay out of the limelight, which is true for the next person as well. Jill Cody, and it just feels very fitting to talk about Jill tonight because we had so many outstanding students that we recognize within world language. Anyone who has worked with Jill Cody knows that she has spent years expanding opportunities for students at Camden Hills. She helped generations of students experience language as far more than just vocabulary and verb charts. She's helped students build confidence, connect with new cultures, and see themselves selves as part of a much larger world. Through her international travel, cultural exchange, and her leadership in helping establish the seal of biliteracy. And
040she pretty much conducted it by herself for a number of years. Jill has created meaningful opportunities for students to challenge themselves and grow in ways that last far beyond graduation. She has been a leader in our world language department, bringing thoughtfulness and a deep commitment to students every day. She has a gift for building comfort for students working in a non-native language, which is truly a talent. Encouraging them to try, to stumble, which is not easy if you're a teenager, more importantly to laugh and to keep going until what once felt unfamiliar becomes becomes something they can own. Her impact at Camden Hills is far-reaching, and what our students remember most is her ability to build relationships and the courage to step into the unfamiliar. Thank you, Jill, for connecting our students to a world
041well beyond Camden Hills. Congratulations on your 20-plus years at as an educator at our school. Thank you. >> [applause] >> I hope that you see her you share a couple of those really nice words and and help to recognize her. So, we do have gifts. And I believe we have one more, Ms. Brown, CAROLYN BROWN. >> [applause] >> OH, THE ODDS ARE UP. THE ODDS ARE UP. >> [applause] >> THIS IS NOT JERRY SPRINGER. THIS IS THIS IS >> [laughter] >> I'D LIKE TO channel Oprah, but I don't think that was how that works. So, um All right. I'm ready for this one. Um, at at So, what did I >> [laughter] >> Shop. >> to talk about my messy room. >> I am. Twice. >> [laughter] >> Sorry, I can't help myself. It's something
042we've talked about a lot over the days. So, at Camden Hills, if you've ever needed an art supply, whether it's clay, a paintbrush, camera lens, or something you didn't even know existed until Carolyn Brown found it in exactly the right drawer, you know who to ask. Carolyn's classroom has always felt like a lit- a little like magic. Every nook and cranny filled with creative possibility, and somehow Carolyn always knowing knows exactly where everything is because you truly never know when inspiration will strike. For the past 26 years, Carolyn has helped shape the artistic hearts heart of of Camden Hills. From photography to pottery and everything in between, she's inspired generations of students to create and trust their own ideas. Some of her students have gone on to pursue art professionally. Many others have simply carried
043the carried their love with them carried their love of art with them for a lifetime of appreciation. I definitely botched that one. My bad. >> [laughter] >> Seeing the world through a more creative lens. Both of these are gifts, and Carolyn has given those gifts generously. Carolyn is also an artist herself, a talented artisan whose pottery can be often found on weekends in our community. That connection between artist and teacher has always been evident. She doesn't just teach art, she lives it, she models it, and invites students into the joy of the creative process. Her impact extends well beyond the classroom through international travel. She has expanded students sense of the world and encouraged them to learn by experiencing the world. Through her partnership with the community fund, many of you might not know this
044cuz she's another one of those silent partners. Through her partnership with the community fund and empty bowl, she's helped students see that creativity can also be an act of service, something that strengthens and gives back to your own community. Carolyn, other than the jokes aside, thank you for filling Camden Hills with beauty, imagination, and possibility for 26 years. Your creativity has shaped the school in lasting ways. And while we know your art room may contain enough supplies to sustain us for the next decade, I won't remember that. It is your generosity and your artistry and the inspiration you have shared with students that I will treasure most. Thank you. >> [applause] >> I won't sing. I would like to say thank you so much for everyone like I have I see so many of my
045students here. I see some kids that I had in like theater class in the summer with Miss Murphy doing all these crazy things. Um, I absolutely love my students. Um, that I'm really happy because I have some amazing awesome students this semester and this year. And so it's great. I see you, Audra. Um, it's great to go out and Cara, I know you. It's great to go out on a high note. So, that's um, I'm really happy to and I've had some of your your kids in the past as well. Um, really nice to have um, uh, a high note to end on and also remember to go to Fine Arts Night tomorrow night. It's a awesome showcase of many of the students here and many who are not here. Thank you. >> [applause] [applause]
046>> TRULY GENERATION, SO A LASTING EFFECT and and impact on our community. I think it's board recognition next. >> Yes. >> So, Marcus, do you want the microphone? >> All right. Just going to say a few words about Marcus here for a minute. He's going to be leaving our leaving the board. He's been on the board for 6 years. And on a personal note, Marcus always been very helpful, gracious, and there whenever I had a question that needed answering. As far as leading the board, he was instrumental in us finding the new superintendent. Everything he's done, I I I really appreciate and kind of >> [snorts] >> Yeah. And uh as far as Burke, did somebody have >> I've got I'd like to say something about Marcus Burke and Ethan, if I may. >> Go
047ahead. >> Okay. I'll May I start with Ethan? Ethan, you're graduating. Holy smokes. Wow. Bowden, that's great. Uh during your time on this board as a student advisor, you've offered measured and well-reasoned input. I think that I speak for the board when I express my gratitude for both your presence and your opinion. An essential facet of board membership is to participate fully, and you've done that. I wish you all the best in your next chapter. Please come back and visit. We'd love to know how you're doing. >> THANK YOU. >> [applause] >> BURKE. >> [laughter] >> THANK YOU. FOR A GUY WHO WAS A write-in 3 years ago, you've hung in there and represented like your community well. I've enjoyed getting to know you and appreciate your perspective, your articulation regarding different topics, and I
048wish you all the best. I'm sure you won't miss driving all the way into town and then back to Appleton on those cold, snowy nights. I hope this opens up some additional time for you to enjoy other non-elected pursuits. >> [applause] >> And Marcus, I can't believe how quickly 6 years go from who the heck is this guy to a skilled team member who's taken on board leadership roles. You've demonstrated a sincere commitment to the community, the schools, the educators, and students. Never mind going to Washington, D.C. and back in one day. Uh today. Uh you've prioritized visiting classrooms, digging deep into what makes our schools tick, and have made this work much more enjoyable along the way. Whether it was standing in front of French and Indian sharing with you during the walk through
049town for the graduating graduating seniors, digging deep into negotiations with our unions, handing out maple syrup for teacher appreciation, or hearing you out when we didn't agree on a particular vote, I have developed a deep respect for who you are and how you think. Thank you for leading the Five Towns CSD. We are all the better for your effort. >> [applause] >> Sarah was nice to speak to Ethan. >> So, I have a little speech for Ethan. From the moment I joined the board as a sophomore, I noticed the confidence and composure Ethan carries with him. He always seemed to be able to speak his mind clearly, think quickly under pressure, and bring humor and energy into every room he's in. Those are qualities that naturally draw people in, and they made him someone I
050and I'm sure Ethan look up to, too. More specifically, what I admire most about Ethan is his presence. Whether it's leading discussions or speaking with confidence when it mattered, he made an impact on this board. Throughout my time observing him, he has always had sharp has been sharp, driven, and willing to speak with his mind. All of which are qualities that are incredibly admirable. I'm really thankful I got the chance to work alongside you. I know you're going to bring that energy, humor, and wits wherever you go. Congratulations and thank you for everything you've brought to this board. >> [applause] [applause] >> Thank you. >> [laughter] >> All right. Well, thank you, everybody. I have a couple things to say about my fellow honorees here. Ethan, thank you for your service on our board. As
051Becky said, you know, you have shown that to be a good board member, you have to participate and share your opinions and we always know what you're thinking about every possible issue. So, it's really helped inform the work of the rest of our board members to to hear your thoughts. You know, Burke, as Becky mentioned, you know, coming here as a write-in and for folks, he was not a write-in campaign that Burke led. I don't think he even knew about it. You know, his his fellow neighbors wrote him in and I think that speaks volumes to his character and and who he is. And while Burke will never win a record in terms of minutes talked in a meeting, you know, when when you do say something, it it really matters and I've been really
052there's just so thankful for your thoughtful questions, your your insightful opinions and advice. And you know, especially during the superintendent hiring process, you really had some some very helpful points of view to to help us pick the the right person and it's been a pleasure to to serve with you. And you know, as board chair, I'm going to take a few minutes of my own uh ability to to to say thank you. It's been just an incredible honor to serve on this board and to support the students, educators, and broader school community. Uh I've always tried to focus on what our students need while empowering our educators and administrators and being fair to taxpayers. I ran for school board in 2020 during COVID. Uh when I got elected, our first job was to work with
053administration on a plan to safely reopen schools. Easy stuff right off the bat. Uh and over the years I've I've learned so much by working alongside all of my fellow board members and uh beside Maria and our talented administrative team. And I could go one by one uh around what I've so enjoyed working with you on or learned from you. I will save that so we can get to cupcakes. Uh I have individual notes for all of you that I'll that I'll be I'll be sharing. You know, we've we've done some amazing things together from expanding outdoor learning to supporting the work of the hatchery to a strategic plan that leads on experiential learning, innovate innovation, to leading on a phone-free school day. But none of this would be possible without our amazing administrators, teachers,
054and staff. You are so exceptional and there are no words to describe the gratitude that I have for all of you. My My moments have been with our students and educators in classrooms, at performances and games, witnessing the amazing teaching and learning happening. Fine Arts Night, which is just one of my favorite evenings of the school year. I will definitely be there tomorrow night and hope that you all attend, too. And you know, while I'm leaving the board, you know, I'll still be a champion for our schools. Public schools helped raise me and I worked throughout my career to ensure every kid has access to the great public school that they deserve. As Ben said, as Becky mentioned, I was down in DC this morning working with one of my clients to outline a new
055policy agenda for public schools to to propel student learning in the age of AI. And so I'm still in this game, still going to be fighting and championing our schools. So, thank you again and thank you to all of you and I look forward to seeing you around town. >> [applause] >> And the lady over here, she is leaving us, too. Maria Libby is retiring after several decades of service in our school district. And you know, we were able to have a farewell dinner last week just to have her own celebration of Maria's leadership. And we'll be doing a a full-blown celebration at the SAG board meeting in June. So, but while we're here, let's give Maria Libby just a round of applause for the decades of leadership and really [applause] it's great to have
056her all of us. And now it is >> Hold on. I I lost my I did I missed my opportunity to say something. Can I do a pause? >> Yeah. >> So, all year long I am sharing as much as I can about the board and we have wonderful student reps that do their part. But really all year long this board is working on behalf of all of the students. Can you stand up one more time so we can celebrate you because this is the best board, no offense. This is my favorite board meeting and I really want to have one more acknowledgement of all the students that came here tonight. Can you PLEASE STAND UP? >> [applause] [applause] >> YOU'RE THE REASON WHY THEY'RE WORKING SO HARD so >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >>
057Congratulations again to everybody. This is just such a great way to have our last board meeting and now we can break for some refreshments in the cafeteria. Be back here in 10 minutes. Minutes. We need approval of the May 6th, 2026 [laughter] ESD regular school board meeting minutes and approval of the May 11th, 2026 ESD public budget meeting minutes. >> Can we do this together? >> Second. Okay, that was Marsha and Andy. Andy seconding? Any discussion? All those in favor? Perfect. All right, nominations. We have Nell Daley as interim principal and then the stipends nominations that were added as an adjustment to the agenda. >> I'll move the nominations. >> Second. >> Okay, moved by Marsha, seconded by Becky. Any discussion? All those in favor? Great. Congratulations, Nell. Possible approval of an FY25 budget cost
058center transfer of $80,000 from Article 2 special education to article one, regular instruction, pursuant to MR MSRS title 20A, section 1485, paragraph four. Shall the school at CSD school board authorize the following FY25 budget transfers, $80,000 from article two, special education, to article one, regular instruction? Maria, do you have anything to share about the reason? >> Um it was unexpected maternity and FMLA leaves of absences that required us to hire long-term substitutes and our substitute line went significantly over budget, which caused the whole line to go over budget. That sum it up, Chris? >> That's it. Okay. Can I get a motion? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Done. >> I'm going to give it to Sarah. >> [laughter] >> Slightly. You got to be louder next time. >> [laughter] >> Okay, any discussion? All
059those in favor? Great. Board chair's report. So next week, we have a lot of great activities to keep honoring our students. The march through town is on June 1st at 5:30 p.m. And I know the high school posted uh something about that in the roots, um but pretty self-explanatory. Graduation, June 5th at 5:59 p.m. Board members uh can get a ticket, one ticket, uh and we will be together somewhere. Uh I hear they're trying to do it outside, uh so hopefully all the rain comes this weekend and the following weekend. And Jen, should should we email Shauna if we want a ticket? Okay. Uh so you can either let me know right now if you want to go and I will I will let her know or let me know after the board meeting or
060email Shauna. Is there anybody who wants to go? Okay. >> I think Bree wants to go as well. I'll let you know. >> Okay. So, that's everybody. >> Just Friday. >> Okay. >> Mark, why is I I'm probably missing Why is it 5:59? >> It's always like that. It's always some weird number. >> What does that mean? >> Superstition. >> Yeah, right? >> Oh, I was going to say there's some significance to it. >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> It's always >> I sat back there cuz I was like, "I'm not I don't have a board report. You guys aren't going to hear from me." But, um so there are a number of things that um Dr. I deserves credit for. And if you ever come to the high school and see our wall of honor,
061that is his genius, which I absolutely love. And if you come the beginning of next school year, you're going to see a brand new wall of honor cuz we have 25 years worth of acknowledgements and we have to start again, another 25 years. And um Dr. I loved um knowing that we march to our own beat. Um we do things the Cannon Hills way and we're not following anyone else. And so, we start at the 5:59. And that is pretty cool because it causes people to ask me and I have to say it every single year. >> [laughter] >> You're the first. So, you're pioneers, but I guarantee I'm going to share that at least 10 more times. And what I love about it is just it's the spirit of Cannon Hills. We do so
062many things um because it's who we are. And the one I don't know many schools that do a march through town. Absolutely my favorite [music] event. Um and my favorite moment it was Maria and I and uh this family came out of their house. It was just it was during COVID so it had to be 2020, right? Came out of their house, they heard the ruckus, they were making pasta, they brought out pots and pans and they started beating it on the side. This is the best and that's our community. It's at our finest. So I don't know if that answers it well, but >> That's great. Thank you. >> All right. Graduation board reorganization meeting on June 24th at 5:30 p.m. Burke and I will be sending you well wishes. Anything? Uh we have
063Dr. Neils visit next week. She's going to be spending a lot of time with administrators, just continuing her transition. Amelia, do you want to talk about the Hall event? >> Um Yeah. So, she is going to be coming to Lincolnville Central School on Tuesday the 2nd at 6:00 where hopefully many of the community members and students from the Hall communities are going to greet her and she'll get to see a lot of the um just towns people and students and then hopefully we'll have some local bakeries that are going to be showing off their wares as well just to welcome her. >> That's nice. Yeah. >> So, you said June 2nd? >> June 2nd at 6:00 p.m. >> Is publicity going out to the town Appleton and Hope? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Is it
064I'm sorry. Is it which school is it at? >> It's at Lincolnville Central School in their cafeteria. It's called Walsh Commons. >> Mhm. >> But it's it's for everyone in the area, but because we wanted to recognize them because a lot of them didn't understand the Camden Rockport events thought it was more geared towards them. We're five towns, so but we just feel another way to help get everyone to introduce her. Welcome her. >> She will also be visiting Mid-Coast School of Technology. Um Emily, you're you're still going to go on that, too, right? Okay. And before I end my board report, uh you know, we recognize people more formally if they've served for 10 years, uh but we do have somebody departing who just missed that. Uh and uh I just want to take
065a moment for us to recognize Jen Curtis uh for her many years of service in our school district. >> Only eight now. >> Only eight. Only eight. Maybe you can come back and do a couple more. >> Two more. >> Uh you know, just thank you for, you know, your you're always so focused on what is best for our kids. You create such a welcoming environment for both students and staff. You are You bring an air of positivity and and optimism through challenges and and it's just been such a pleasure working with you, and I just want to make sure that we say thank you to you in in our in our own way, uh in in this moment. Anybody want to say anything about Jen? >> I'll share a story. >> Yeah. >> I
066I told Jen the story. It's a I was at a basketball game this past winter at the high school, and it was a pretty rowdy game, and there's there's these two students in the front row across the gym from me, >> [clears throat] >> and I see Jen like kind of off with like Jeff Hart and everything, and these two students are really getting into the game. Well, so wasn't the visiting team uh crowd, and there was words starting to kind of you could see them kind of exchange, and and all Jen did was just walk over and sat right next to these two kids, and >> [laughter] >> and brought it down such a level like they were like about to jump out of their seats and I just sat there and laughing so
067hard I don't even I think you were like cheering with them and everybody in the other team was like looking at her and it really calmed things down and I was so impressed with like the level of like she just got in there. She didn't tell them to be quiet or escort them out. It really showed a lot and I was very impressed so thank you for the laugh and >> It was a bit of a parting of the seas most of the kids all of a sudden had to go to the concession station so >> [laughter] >> I don't know why most OF THEM LEFT. >> GOOD ENOUGH. >> YEAH. >> Um I just want to say that Miss Curtis you've been like the best support for me. She's been on my side for
068so long and she's helping me so much with my research project and implementing it in schools. I was very very sad to see her go cuz she cares so much about students and I'm sad to see her leaving but thanks so much for the support and all the kindness you've shown me. >> Well I I guess I you know give me the mic >> [laughter] >> But I just I have unlike Nell Daley who you are going to be so excited to work with unlike Nell Daley I have been to different school districts. I have worked at at least three high schools and I have had sometimes the unfortunate pleasure of being asked by the principal to give a presentation at the board meetings and I will say sometimes it really hurts my heart and
069I have never felt that with this board. The one thing and by the way if it wasn't a student that asked intern at the villager and she caught me at a moment of weakness cuz she's a student she asked to do an article and I was like I don't really want to and so I invited Mel, so it's going to be a two-for-one. Um But they asked me certain questions and the one thing I said with the utmost sincerity is I've never worked for a community that truly values education and supports our schools. There are a number of times Maria had the has lots of grand ideas. I'm the action girl, visionary, and two of us together it's it's pretty magical. And one of her ideas was our internship program, and it was when I
070first started at Canaan schools. I had connections to the community but not not as far reaching as we needed. And the one thing I learned from day one is that every time I picked up the phone I got a yes. I got a what can we do to help? Whether it was, you know, sharing of, you know, having an intern come in or sharing resources or coming into a classroom. I've never experienced that in all the places that I've been and for that I'm truly grateful. And for what Saran said, there isn't very much that would get me to consider moving out of the onto a different role or different district or anywhere else. What it is is kids. Hands down. I get to go back into a classroom and what I hope is that
071you get the benefit of it with future teachers that I'm supporting. So working at Farmington, the teacher college in Maine, excited to to bring energy and enthusiasm where I think it's needed, which is helping people think about teaching. So thank you all and thanks for breaking THE RULES. >> [applause] >> ALL RIGHT, SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. >> SO I DIDN'T have a report in the packet but I wanted to say something today. I'm going to read it. Um and I'll just keep it brief, brief, but I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to reflect because I think what this community has built together deserves to be named. Over the past 11 years as superintendent and 28 years in this district, I've had the privilege of working alongside extraordinary educators, staff, families, students, and board
072members. None of what I'll mention is mine alone. It belongs to all of us. We listened to research and to the needs of adolescents when we moved to a later start time, and students showed up more rested rested and more ready. We instituted open campus, trusting our juniors and seniors to grow into independence. We created the internship program and deepened our commitment to experiential education because we believe the real world is one of the most powerful classrooms that there is. We launched the student leadership forum so that student voices weren't just heard, they shaped decisions. And when the research on phones became clear, this community came together to go phone free. I'm proud of that. The Hatchery Innovation Center stands as a symbol of what's possible when we invest in student curiosity and agency. Buying
073into the solar farm for 90% of our electricity needs was a statement about our values and our future. We valued every student in our district and that is why we are creating an appropriate space for the Rising Tide program. We champion sustainability initiatives that I hope will outlast all of us in this room. We continue to invest deeply in the arts, in athletics, music, theater, and visual arts because we know how these programs keep students connected to school. We built out social emotional learning initiatives and focused on school culture with the culture keepers because culture doesn't happen by accident. Safety is paramount and never finished, but we conducted major emergency preparedness drills and made it a genuine priority. We introduced remote school days so learning could continue through dis start disruptions such as snow days
074and then the pandemic hit. We were ready and reopened school faster than most in the nation. We launched a podcast to advocate publicly for public education because someone has to tell that story. Through it all, we took care of our buildings and grounds because the environments our students learn in send a message about how much we value them, and it saves money in the long run. It's all too easy to let our infrastructure take a backseat. I leave this district believing deeply in public education and what it can do for children, for families, and for communities. That belief has never wavered, not once in 28 years. It's been the honor of my professional life to serve here in the community where I grew up, and I'm grateful beyond words. Thank you. >> [applause] >> Thank
075you, Maria. I think so many things you listed are just so powerful. I think the student leadership forum stands out to me, you know, being there the first year you did it and seeing them the engagement and the the magic and then for it to kind of take life after it with kids designing their own trips and and courses and policies. I think I hope I know you were you were thinking of like, could you take that on the road? And I hope that's something you're still thinking about cuz uh it's an amazing amazing initiative along with the host of other things you mentioned. >> I was just thinking about all of the students we just recognized and um wanted to thank you as someone whose kids are just starting out in this system for
076being an incredible steward of what is truly an excellent education system. And I think whether they know it or not, they and their families really owe you tremendous just for not just stewarding an excellent system, but building it and making it better and bringing so much innovation to it. So, as a parent, not just a school board member, I really want to thank you for that. It's It's exceptional and um I believe we can keep it going. So, thank you, Marie. >> All right, more to come. Um standing committee reports, joint curriculum met May 5th, 2026, minutes attached. Possible approval of the K-12 health standards and expected outcomes. So, we did this at the SAD as well, but we've updated the health standards and expected outcomes uh based on updated main learning results and kind
077of focused not just on the personal well-being, but also the well-being of others and it was also updated to reflect uh some concepts around uh handling technology in a positive way, too. Uh so, the curriculum committee recommended approval to the board. >> So, moved. >> Okay. >> Second. >> Okay. Any questions? All those in favor? Great. Finance met May 6th, minutes attached. Meet met uh met before the school board meeting tonight. >> Yeah. Um our target based on 24 26 payrolls through May 21st, um we are to targeted to spend 92.3% of our budget. The actual is 85.3% of our budget budget excluding board contingency. Um and fiscal year 25, same period a year ago, we had spent 84.7% of our budget. So, we are tracking well and have been tracking well through the year
078through the year. It's been pretty nice. >> Okay. >> [clears throat] >> Thank you, Becky. Joint Personnel met May 15th. Minutes attached. And then the possible approval of the groundskeeper job description. >> So, moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? All those in favor? Okay. Joint Policy met on May 13th. Minutes attached. And then we have first uh >> A number of policies for first reading and hopefully waiving the second reading of the policies including the student handbook, which was not in this packet, but we had a separate email >> Mhm. >> for that cuz it's quite lengthy. So, I will move the first and second reading of these policies. >> Second. >> Any discussion? >> I have a question. Where does uh unified basketball fall? I was looking through the athletic breakdown and I'm just
079wondering where the unified basketball, like their uniforms, their transportation, um where What Where does that fall? >> In terms of payment? >> Well, yeah, like where they're allotted cuz they get a uniform, I'm assuming, right? >> Yep. And we have transportation. We bus them. We We're not able to run it this year just because of numbers, but um this still Luckily, they do at least three to four games. We pay for the refs. >> So, we pay for everything. Is it not in the policy >> You know, surprisingly enough, it's not. So, I think that that probably should get added next year. >> Cuz we do pay for all >> Just so it's listed properly in both of those policies. Yeah. >> Well, and related to that, is it Is it more of a club
080or a sport? >> It's in the under sports. >> Yeah, I think. >> It is. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> It does say three teams without differentiating what kinds of teams. >> Well, and then within here there are you know, we talked about all the teams. >> three teams, girls, two to three teams. >> Well, there's freshman basketball, JV basketball, and then varsity basketball. >> Yeah, we do think a separate line. It is a completely different timing of the season anyway. So, it's a great point. Again, I think it's something we should have. >> Any other questions? >> I had a question on the baseline costs for athletics. When does that get reviewed as far as helmets don't get covered on some sports, but they do on others. I didn't know what the
081qualifier was for why they wouldn't be covered. >> I think it's in the policy, isn't it, of how often >> I think it's every >> under baseline costs. >> It was at the last policy meeting that we talked about in this area. >> So, I guess that would be a question that I would have. Like, why wouldn't helmets, that seems like a big one to not be covered in some sports that are cut that are >> That's a great discussion for policy committee when when that policy is being reviewed. >> Okay. >> That's when that would most likely get discussed. >> Okay. And they do that once a year? >> Um well >> Or could they do it at >> You policy can be discussed at policy committee anytime >> Okay. >> that somebody wants
082to discuss policy. So, that could be on the first agenda next fall. >> Are you leaving any notes for us for our next meeting? >> [laughter] >> That should be in the minutes. >> Fair enough. >> I mean, if that's something, Amelia, that you want, you would um say that next year you would make a point to ask whoever chair of policy um and the superintendent to make sure that that goes on the first policy meeting. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? All those in favor? Great. Board advisory committee reports MCST. >> Um we had our meeting tonight. That's where I was for the first half of the meeting. I was so do not have minutes for you. They reviewed the director's evaluation. They are They approved the teacher contract. So, and their kids are
083going to SkillsUSA on Sunday to compete for the national gold. >> Great. Administrator salary and contract recommendations, possible executive session to discuss a personnel matter when MRS 405 6A. Can I get a motion to go into executive session? >> Second. >> All those in favor?
