MADISON — On the first day of the school year, the SAU 13 Board accepted the resignation of new school superintendent Dr. Kathleen Scholand, who had been on the job for less than 40 days.
The board, made up of members of the Freedom, Madison and Tamworth school boards, held a special meeting Sept. 8. The lone agenda item was “a personnel matter.”
