Our Meetings

The Regional School Unit #24 (RSU24) Board of Directors meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of each month during the school year. Meeting agendas are prepared in advance by the Superintendent and RSU Board Chairperson. Agendas are posted at least three weekdays in advance of each meeting on the RSU24 website. To request that an item be considered for a regular School Committee agenda, contact the Superintendent or the Chair at least one week prior to the meeting date. Most of our meetings are held between the Ellsworth High School and Sumner Memorial High School cafeterias.  The specific location of a meeting is posted with the agendas below.


Meeting Participation

Meetings of the RSU24 Board of Directors are public in the sense that they are held in public. Our primary purpose for meeting is to conduct our business as charged by law.  The Chairperson will provide an opportunity during the consideration of each major agenda item for public comment. Comments from audience members are welcomed during these times within the following guidelines:

The Chairperson will recognize individuals wishing to be heard by the Board of Directors. All questions and comments should be addressed to the Chairperson.

While all comments will be heard and considered, some questions may require research and/or discussion before they are answered. Generally, the Board does not discuss or act on an item not on the agenda.

The number of speakers and the amount of time each speaks may be limited. In the interest of time, speakers are asked not to be repetitious of comments already made. In the case of a large audience, the chairperson may request that a group designate a spokesperson.

Any community member with a legitimate interest in the Board's business may speak. Employees or employee groups are generally not permitted to discuss matters for which other, more appropriate forums are provided.

Personnel and student issues should be brought to the appropriate school personnel before being brought to the School Committee.

Citizens may communicate to the Board in writing as well. Correspondence should be addressed to: RSU24 Board of Directors, c/o 248 State Street, Suite 3A, Ellsworth, ME  04605

Executive Sessions

In accordance with the Freedom of Access ("Right-to-Know") law, Board meetings are held in public. The Board may go into private or executive session upon a vote of the members present to consider certain matters specified by law, such as personnel matters, student suspension/expulsion, contracts to be negotiated, collective bargaining, legal advice, pending litigation, or student records which are confidential by nature. No final action may be taken during executive sessions.
