The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) committee voted on Friday morning to appoint Paul Bailey as treasurer for MVRHS and the Up-Island Regional School District (UIRSD) on Nov. 6.
Bailey replaced Marylee Schroeder, who held the position for 29 years and is retiring, on Monday.
Jaime Curley, MVYPS superintendent, highlighted Bailey’s background as both a certified internal auditor and a certified informations systems auditor.
“We are excited to welcome him to the team and look forward to the knowledge and experience he will bring to the district,” Curley said. “We do want to thank Mary Lee Schroeder for all of her hard work and dedication over her years here in the district. She will be extremely missed, but we are excited to welcome Paul to board.”
Bailey previously served as a senior audit risk and compliance manager at Liberty Utilities, an Ontario-based utilities company serving customers in the U.S. and Canada. He is currently a councillor of the Up-Island Council on Aging and resides in Chilmark. His appointment comes as Martha’s Vineyard Public Schools (MVYPS) undergoes an independent audit of its transportation department’s practices.
