Board reviews personnel changes; district clarifies school-resource officer and security roles

District administrators presented personnel changes for September 2025, including returning retirees and staffing coverage, and clarified the district's security arrangements at high schools. Why it matters: personnel changes affect classroom staffing and school support services; clarity on security roles informs who is responsible for school policing and related costs. Administrators reported there were no additional retirements on the personnel list that evening but announced two returning retirees filling temporary assignments: Robin Acosta (returning to cover a teacher on leave) and Liz Winslow (returning to cover the elementary gifted-teacher role following a scheduled retirement by Melinda Hall). The presenter said Winslow will serve for the rest of the school year while the district advertises for a certified elementary gifted teacher. During questions, a trustee asked whether Shelman (high) had only one security guard on the personnel list. A district presenter clarified that the single listed position was a front-office security/check-in staffer and that school resource officers are employed by the sheriff's office and not district employees; the district pays for the sheriff's services. The presenter said Shelman High has three school resource officers, a truancy officer and a residency investigator based at the high school who perform security and enforcement duties but are county employees. The personnel list and the 2025'26 personnel roster were provided in board materials; the personnel item was informational and required no board action that night.
