POLAND – An accounting and economics instructor with an master’s degree in business administration will help lead school Union 29.
Marc Gendron, 50, an adjunct professor at the University of Maine at Presque Isle and a teacher at Central Aroostook High School, beat out seven other applicants to become assistant superintendent. He will help oversee Poland, Minot and Mechanic Falls, with a focus on finance, business and personnel.
Gendron has an M.B.A. from the University of Maine in Orono and a master’s degree in education leadership from the University of Southern Maine. He is finishing his assistant superintendent credentials and is expected to be licensed this fall.
He was looking for a new challenge when he applied for the assistant superintendent’s job.
“It was time to make a change,” he said.
He replaces current assistant William Doughty, who is leaving to become principal of Poland’s middle and high schools.
Gendron starts July 1.
