WALES — Andrew Carlton, currently serving as director of curriculum, instruction and assessment for RSU #4, (Litchfield, Sabattus and Wales), has been appointment to the position of superintendent of schools beginning July 1. His three-year contract runs through June 30, 2020, according to RSU #4 School Board Chairman Josh Bisson, who made the announcement.
Prior to taking on the role of curriculum, instruction and assessment director for the district in July 2015, he spent three years as assistant principal at Oak Hill High School in Wales and one year as special education director in MSAD #13 (Bingham and Moscow). Carlton spent the majority of his teaching career in MSAD #49 (Albion, Benton, Clinton and Fairfield), where he was a special education teacher. He also served one term as a school board member for MSAD #49.
“RSU #4 is extremely excited to announce the appointment and promotion of Andrew Carlton to superintendent of schools beginning in July. We feel very fortunate that our district was in a place where we could promote from within,” he said. “Mr. Carlton’s knowledge of curriculum, special education, school building operation as well as his demonstrated leadership skills will serve our students, faculty and staff very well. We thank Superintendent Hodgkin for his devoted eight years of service and welcome Superintendent Carlton to continue the amazing work that is going on in RSU #4.”
Carlton said of the appointment and promotion, “There is no question I am excited for this opportunity. I love these communities, the community members, the students, the staff and the administrative team, and I am honored to have the opportunity to lead RSU #4 for the foreseeable future. When I think about continuing my career in RSU #4, I get excited because of the support the school board and the community show for education. I know for certain that these communities value the education their children receive, and I want to make sure we are constantly improving our practice so that we can provide the best possible education we can for our students. I am also mindful that every dollar we spend is money directly out of the pockets of our hard working taxpayers, and we owe it to them to make sure we are maximizing that money.”
Carlton lives in Waterville and has two daughters, ages 10 and 8.
