Board honors long-serving staff with retirement resolutions
Summary
The Chippewa Valley School Board read and adopted retirement resolutions recognizing multiple employees for decades of service, including a 37-year teaching career and 28 years in food service.
The board adopted resolutions honoring multiple employees who announced retirement, and district leaders and colleagues spoke in recognition of their service.
John Jones, principal at Dakota’s ninth-grade center, spoke about Bill Snyder, who the board’s resolution identified as retiring after 21 years with the district and 37 combined years of teaching. Jones said Snyder “is kind, patient, he's a problem solver, someone that is solution oriented,” and praised Snyder’s work teaching lifeguarding and a PE fitness class that provided students with employable skills.
The board also adopted a resolution recognizing Debbie Trooper for 28 years at Fox Elementary in food service; speakers described her as “the type of caring staff member that I would want for my own children in the school lunchroom.” The minutes show the board read a similar resolution for Marcel Pijon (21 years of service), and one noting Michelle Kuziewicz (6 years, clerical) and Susan Van Opham (23 years, assistant principal). Speakers at the meeting thanked each honoree and noted impacts on students and colleagues.
Each retirement resolution was read aloud and entered as a permanent part of district records; the board presented retirement plaques or copies of the resolution to the honorees. The meeting transcript records speakers’ remarks but does not show any contested votes on these ceremonial resolutions.
