RSU 40 confirms principal appointments and multiple teacher hires

The RSU 40 board approved a slate of personnel actions, including the appointment of Daniel Joseph as principal (action listed in the agenda) and multiple teacher nominations under board policy.

An action item to appoint Daniel Joseph as principal was moved and approved; Daniel Joseph thanked the board and described the interview process as authentic, saying he looks forward to working with students and staff. Separately, the board approved teacher nominations (the transcript lists names such as Danielle Bedard and others under policy GCFD/GCFB) by voice votes.

Sean Strut introduced himself after the approvals as the new principal at Miller School. He said he was on day two in the position, described his start as “10 out of 10” and thanked board members and staff for their welcome. The transcript shows the approvals were moved and seconded with the board recording the motions as approved on the meeting floor; the record does not provide a complete roll‑call tally for each nomination in plain numeric form.

The board also outlined next administrative steps and encouraged principals and staff to coordinate with central office as new school‑year preparations continue.
