Lawyer Reviews Hudson Case At SAD 71 Board Meeting
Kennebunk school district attorney Hugh MacMahon has not reached conclusions on how to handle Diane Hudsons request for reinstatement and a full hearing. He plans to consult with Superintendent Arthur Hedberg and union rep Shirley Bissel after a brief vacation. The June 9 meeting drew about 100 people as Hudson claimed she was forced to resign under threat of a bad final evaluation from high school principal Spencer Trask, an evaluation she says was torn up and replaced with a favorable one after she agreed to resign. The board voted to consult its attorney and consider a hearing, with Hedberg promising no replacement until the issue is resolved. The board chair noted a hearing could be public or executive session at Hudsons choosing, and she has indicated a preference for public. The next meeting is June 30, moved from Monday without explanation.
