School Board Workshop and Business Meeting

The Scarborough Maine Public Schools held a School Board Workshop and Business Meeting on June 18, 2026. The meeting included a detailed academic progress and curriculum update, highlighting ongoing curriculum reviews in math, visual arts, performing arts, and plans for science and technology. The board discussed federal ESSA funding allocations, including Title I funds of approximately $95,000 used to support early intervention teaching positions. Several personnel appointments were approved, including the assistant director of curriculum and multiple teaching positions in math, English language arts, social studies, and ESOL. The board also addressed policy updates, including a new policy restricting student use of personal electronic devices during the school day in compliance with state law, and a policy on public comment procedures. Additionally, the board voted to declare a seat vacant due to absenteeism and decided to leave the seat vacant until the November election to avoid the cost of a special election. No capital projects or procurement contracts were discussed during this meeting.
