ELLSWORTH — Julie Curtis of Eastbrook has been named chairman of the Regional School Unit 24 (RSU 24) Board.
Curtis succeeds Mike Pinkham of Sullivan, who resigned in June, saying he wanted to pursue teaching opportunities.
Curtis is registrar for the Hancock County Registry of Deeds.
She was elected by the RSU 24 Board on July 19. Dick Gray of Ellsworth was elected vice chairman.
Curtis was on the Maine School Administrative District 26 Board for six years before the board consolidated with other communities to form RSU 24.
Curtis has been on the RSU 24 Board for two years and was part of the at times fractious school consolidation of Eastbrook, Ellsworth, Franklin, Gouldsboro, Hancock, Lamoine, Mariaville, Sorrento, Steuben, Sullivan, Waltham and Winter Harbor.
She and her husband, Chris, have three children. Two have graduated from Ellsworth High School (EHS) and one is currently enrolled at EHS.
