Superintendent Cushman noted the final formula and amount remain undecided, while the board appointed Nellouise Lemire as athletic director and Jane Etherington as Grade 7 language arts teacher.

Biddeford school board weighs whether students will join the B or A hockey league or play at all. The district approved a York County Ice Arena proposal offering free ice time if four local schools join, but only Biddeford and Kennebunk had varsity hockey so far. Arena owner changes hands as Boston-area interest continues. Cape Elizabeth remains in talks while Thornton Academy and Old Orchard Beach declined free ice. The board seeks a written new proposal after arena finances finalize, as it also handles staff resignations and hires.
