At the Aug. 21, 2025 meeting, the Fox Board of Education approved multiple personnel actions for the 2025–2026 school year. Motions and votes were recorded as follows: Clerk Stacie Fletcher and Member Carolyn McConnell alternated as mover and seconder on the personnel motions; Vice‑President Otto Young voted aye on each recorded personnel motion; President Joey Rodriguez and Member Twanna Owens were absent.
The board approved extra‑duty pay of $1,750 for Ariah Williams for the assistant volleyball coach position for the 2025–2026 school year. The board approved Whitney Watkins as an adjunct teacher for Family & Consumer Science for 2025–2026. The board rescinded the paraprofessional offer to Harlee Taylor after the minutes indicate she was unable to accept the position. The board approved employing Kelsey Yonker and Monica White as paraprofessionals for the 2025–2026 school year and approved employing Forrest Goodwin as a bus driver for 2025–2026.
The board also approved extra‑duty pay for Jessica Riley in the amount of $1,384.96 for a planning period covering Aug. 10 through Oct. 13 in the 2025–2026 school year. Each motion passed with recorded aye votes from Stacie Fletcher, Carolyn McConnell and Otto Young.
Why it matters: these personnel actions modify staff assignments and compensation for extracurricular and planning duties and fill operational positions such as bus driver and paraprofessional support for the coming school year.
The minutes do not include personnel file details such as start dates beyond the school year notation, background checks or contract terms; the record states only the actions the board approved.
