The Jonesport Elementary School board filled its three classroom teaching vacancies last week, but it still seeks a principal. Several of the teachers who were among the approximate 20 members of the public who attended the April 5 meeting urged the school board to consider a teacher/principal. Currently, following the abrupt departure of Principal Heidi Fairbanks in January, Title IA math teacher John Reese is handling the principal’s duties, while Superintendent Lewis Collins is the principal of record.
