Green Bay Area Public School District board approves three personnel actions, affirms appeals process for termination
Summary
At a Dec. 19 special meeting, the Green Bay Area Public School District Board of Education approved employment and resignation items and voted to approve a staff termination; board members discussed a submitted letter and confirmed the district's appeal process for terminated employees.
The Green Bay Area Public School District Board of Education on Dec. 19 approved three personnel actions in a short special meeting: employment of staff as presented, acceptance of staff resignations as presented, and approval of a staff termination, with members noting the termination vote preserves an employee's right to appeal for a hearing.
The actions matter because they finalize immediate staffing changes while leaving procedural safeguards in place for the terminated employee. Board members said a termination vote does not preclude an appeal and that the district's existing process allows the employee to request a hearing before the board.
On the first motion, to approve employment of staff as presented, the board voted in favor (ayes recorded from Proffin, Gerlach, McCoy and Becker). The motion was moved and seconded on the record and passed by voice roll call.
The board then voted to accept staff resignations as presented; members recorded aye votes from Kinsey, Becker, McCoy and Gerlach and the motion passed.
The final personnel motion, to approve the termination of staff as presented, drew brief discussion after the motion and second. At least one board member said they had read a letter submitted by the employee and that it gave them concern, but that it did not change their vote. A board member explained the rationale for voting yes: "this yes vote allows the right to appeal and for that next step to happen if they so wish. That's what my yes vote is based on." The recorded ayes on the termination vote included Kinsey, Crossan, Gerlach, McCoy and Becker; the motion passed.
No no votes, abstentions or recusals were recorded on the three personnel items during the meeting record provided. Board members moved immediately to adjourn after the votes.
