Board approves hire of new elementary teacher and authorizes superintendent designee to hire over summer
Summary
The board approved the nomination of Jake Shaffer as a new elementary teacher after a unanimous recommendation from the hiring committee and gave the superintendent designee authority to hire staff over the summer when the board may not meet.
The Newfields School District Board approved a recommended hire May 7 and granted the superintendent designee limited hiring authority over the summer.
Principal Susie announced the board's nomination for a new hire: “Jake Shaffer,” who, the principal said, “rated the highest on our rubric” and was a unanimous pick by the hiring committee. Susie described Mr. Shaffer as having experience teaching fourth through sixth grades, involvement in behavior leadership and technology work, and as engaging and positive in reference checks.
The board then voted to authorize the superintendent designee to hire over the summer for positions that must be filled when the board does not meet. A board member moved to allow the superintendent designee the authority; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Ending: The board approved the nomination and instructed the board chair to sign the contract; staff will process onboarding steps and the superintendent designee has temporary hiring authority to address staffing needs over July and August.
