Board approves personnel roster, operations items and donations in consent vote
Summary
The Three Rivers Local Board approved a multi-item consent agenda April 8 that included personnel hires and resignations, contract extensions, a one-year extension for building services, updated meal prices and a series of donations. Roll-call votes were recorded as 'yes' by several board members and the motions carried.
The Three Rivers Local School District Board of Education approved a multi-item consent agenda at its April 8 meeting covering personnel actions, operations contracts, school handbooks and donations.
The items presented for approval included multiple personnel matters: retirements (for example, high-school science teacher David Grenier effective May 23, 2025), resignations (including Jamie Young Cook effective March 14, 2025 and Emma Smith effective April 1, 2025), certificated and non-certificated contract recommendations, transport hires and sub-driver appointments pending background checks, and a 1-year contract for school psychologist Franklin Zaccardi, effective Aug. 1, 2025, pending certification and clearances. The packet included summer-intervention and extended-service pay authorizations, preschool evaluation hours at $30/hour, and Title I-funded summer-instruction hours.
Operations items approved included a one-year extension with Outfront May for building services, cafeteria meal-price adjustments for 2025–26 (about a $0.15 increase for student lunches and $1.00 for adult premium lunches), renewal of the annual service agreement with the county educational service center, approval of student handbooks for 2025–26, and approval of a nutritional-standard compliance report.
The board also accepted several donations: $500 to the William and Flowering Scholarship account from Allen and Linda Jones; $500 to the Three Rivers scholarship from Cleves–Three Rivers Kiwanis; books valued at $630 for eighth-grade language arts from Dr. Renee Freiben; and construction materials valued at $1,446.60 to the district tiny-homes project from Evolve Stone, Inc. Several smaller memorial gifts and additional scholarship donations were included in the list presented to the board.
A motion to approve the consent items passed by roll call. During the personnel vote the record showed Mrs. Miller, Doctor Stafford, Mr. Adams and Mr. McDonald voting “yes”; during subsequent approvals the board recorded roll-call “yes” votes (Mr. McDonald, Mrs. Knott and others). The district’s packet lists more detailed contract and pay-line items that will be posted with the official minutes; several hires were contingent on background checks and required certifications.
The approved personnel and operations items were presented as routine business with minimal discussion. Board members asked clarifying questions about supplemental pay and how new stipend proposals would interact with union contract language; staff responded that some items will be posted internally and that the board retains flexibility for one-year supplementals rather than adding permanent contract language.
