School board approves consent agenda, confirms new hires and a fall assistant coach
The School Board approved its consent agenda, including an added appointment for the fall athletic season and two staff hires, and adjourned after a brief meeting.

The board approved consent agenda items 5.01 through 7.017 after the superintendent asked to add agenda item 7.08, a personnel appointment. The superintendent recommended approval of an assistant swim coach appointment and the hiring of a returning social-studies teacher; the superintendent said district policy and state law required offering the position to the returning teacher following a retirement.

The superintendent also recognized staff changes and retirements: the board honored Elaine Geese, who is retiring as a bus attendant at the district bus garage; the superintendent introduced incoming staff members Sarah Daniels (joining in fourth grade), Natalie Hernandez (Duke BK teacher at Wales), Samantha Wark (special education), and Jim May, the district's incoming director of facilities who will be assigned to Iroquois. The superintendent told the board that Christopher Smirka was recommended for a full-time (1.0 FTE), probationary social-studies position beginning Sept. 1. The superintendent noted salaries were not read aloud during the motion.

A motion to approve the consent agenda was seconded by Board member Todd and carried 4-0, with no opposing votes. The board then moved to adjourn; that motion was also seconded by Todd and carried 4-0. The superintendent reminded attendees that public comment is limited to a total of 15 minutes, with up to three minutes per speaker, and that the meeting was being live streamed and recorded for online posting.

The meeting concluded at 8:05 p.m.
