Marysville School Board approves staffing changes and strategic plans for next academic year

The Marysville Exempted Village Schools Board of Education meeting on June 12, 2025, highlighted significant developments that will shape the district's future and enhance educational experiences for students. A key focus was the approval of the school calendar, which incorporates a semester break and ensures that the academic year concludes before Memorial Day. This decision reflects community feedback emphasizing the importance of breaks for families and students, particularly in preparation for high-stakes assessments.

The meeting also addressed staffing changes, with the district actively hiring to fill positions left vacant by resignations and retirements. Superintendent Zach Langhaus noted the importance of hiring quality educators, stating that the administrative team is strategically working to ensure the right people are in place for the upcoming school year. Notably, Chris Campbell, previously the principal at Edgewood, will transition to a full-time role as the Director of Teaching and Learning, allowing him to focus on curriculum development.

The board expressed gratitude to the community for their support during the recent levy, which has facilitated these staffing changes and agreements with the transportation union and the Marysville Education Association. This support is crucial as the district aims to restore and enhance educational programs following a challenging year.

In addition to staffing updates, the meeting acknowledged the achievements of students, particularly in the arts, with recognition for the theater department's recent accolades. Board members emphasized the importance of maintaining robust programs that contribute to student success and community pride.

As the district prepares for the next academic year, the board's commitment to transparency and collaboration with families and staff remains a priority. The meeting concluded with a sense of optimism for the future, as new leadership steps in and plans are set to ensure a successful start to the school year in August.
