ORR District Joint School Committee — July 1, 2026

The Old Rochester Regional District Joint School Committee reconvened in open session on July 1, 2026, to vote on the appointment of a new administrator. Both the Union and Regional District sides of the committee voted unanimously to appoint Marie Grable as the new Assistant Superintendent of Student Services. The Union side approved the appointment with roll call affirmative votes from Mary Beauregard, Nicole Daniel, Nicole Nye McGaffey, Kristen Jimenez, Josh Trombley, and Margie Pulo-Breece. The Regional District side followed with affirmative roll call votes from Betsy Stewart, Robin Roundhill, April Nye, Matthew Montero, Margaret McSweeney, Frances Felice Kearns, and Michelle Smith.

Following the vote, committee leadership praised Grable's extensive experience, collaborative leadership style, and prior work within a superintendency union and regional school district structure, highlighting her capability in overseeing special education programming. Grable thanked the committee and search team, expressing enthusiasm to join the Old Rochester district. District leadership noted that contract finalization was underway, with Grable expected to begin in the near future, accompanied by a public press release and community communication.

With no further joint business, both committee bodies conducted separate roll call votes to adjourn the meeting before the Old Rochester Regional School Committee prepared to continue into a separate individual meeting.
