KENNEBUNK – Four candidates are running for two Kennebunk three-year terms on the RSU 21 School Board. Candidates are Joshua Barstow, Amanda Downing, Alison Riggieri and Peter Sentner. Incumbents Mike Mosher and Gayle Asmussen Spofford are not seeking re-election.
• Joshua Barstow said the last five quarters of hybrid learning were necessary but it’s time to return students to a “full-time, in-person, as close to pre-pandemic model of schooling as possible,” for the fall.

KENNEBUNK, Maine – Recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, improving communication, and increasing the district’s focus on children and curriculum were recurring themes when the six candidates for RSU 21 School Board were recently interviewed about their campaigns.
Another theme that often popped up: all candidates are newcomers looking to step off the sidelines and onto the field to oversee the district during a challenging time in education.
A change in the board s makeup is inevitable, as none of the four incumbents Michael Mosher and Gayle Asmussen Spofford of Kennebunk, Sarah Dore of Kennebunkport, and Devon Havey of Arundel decided to seek reelection this time around.
