OXFORD – Site work for the future Paris Elementary School is moving along as planned, SAD 17 Superintendent Mark Eastman announced Monday.
Eastman told the SAD 17 Board of Directors that a lot of dirt has been pushed around at the location off High Street.
“Things are going along uneventfully, which is good,” he added.
Shortly after hearing Eastman’s update, the board voted to create a committee that will make recommendations for reuse of the Mildred M. Fox School in Paris and relocation of the school district’s central office. The new school is expected to be built by the end of 2006. It will replace the Fox School and the Madison Avenue School in Oxford.
Board Chairman Dale Piirainen said Mike Brown, Nick DiConzo, Ron Kugell and Robert Tarbox already had expressed interest in the new committee. John Jenness volunteered to serve as its final member, and the board voted the committee into existence. Piirainen said he expects a report by the first of the year.
In other business, the board approved appointments to the Maine Vocational Region 11 Board of Directors, and appointed Kim Kangas to the position of assistant field hockey coach at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School, and Chuck Martin and Doug Craib to football coaching positions at Oxford Hills Middle School.
The board then entered executive session to discuss a grievance and negotiations.
