Mayfield honors retirees and introduces multiple new hires for 2025–26
Summary
At the June 18 board meeting the Mayfield Board of Education recognized district retirees and principals introduced a slate of new hires across elementary, middle and high schools; some hires were previously approved and others remained pending board approval.
The Mayfield Board of Education on June 18 recognized district retirees and welcomed a group of newly hired teachers and support staff for the 2025–26 school year.
Board members and administrators brought retirees and new staff forward during a presentation portion of the meeting. Several principals introduced their new hires and shared brief backgrounds: Caitlin Bank, an intervention specialist at Mayfield High School with teaching experience at Streetsboro High School and an Ohio University degree; Isabella Esteban, joining the Mayfield High social studies department; Bobby Gauff, returning to Mayfield as an English teacher; Jill Feldman, a business teacher and Mayfield High alumna who studied at Bowling Green State University; Chloe Davens, a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Mayfield Middle School and a University of Akron graduate; Adrienne George, a sixth-grade intervention specialist and University of Mount Union graduate; Tara Calleva, named guidance counselor at Lander Elementary with undergraduate work at John Carroll University and a master's degree from Niagara University; and Clay Cunningham, a 2020 Mayfield graduate who completed a recent degree at Edinburgh and will join Mill Ridge.
Jackie McLaughlin, principal at Mayfield Middle School, said, "Something that stuck out to our team when we were doing interviews is her passion," referring to one new hire's interview answers. Sean Kramer, principal at Lander Elementary, said of the district's guidance hire, "...it was so clear that you were the perfect person for the job." The transcript attributes these remarks to the introducing principals.
The superintendent noted that some hires had already been approved in May while others were scheduled for a vote during the meeting; the transcript records a comment that four high-school hires had not yet been approved and were asked to remain for the vote. The transcript does not list which individual hires were formally approved during the meeting nor the specific board action that approved each hire within the consent agenda excerpts.
Administrators emphasized relationships and classroom readiness during introductions and said the hires bring energy and experience to their assignments. The board also acknowledged retirees by name where provided; the transcript includes several spoken tributes, including thanks to an employee identified as "Andy," who will remain available for one year before full retirement.
These staffing announcements set teaching and counseling assignments ahead of the upcoming school year; exact employment contracts, effective dates and salary details were not provided in the meeting excerpts captured in the transcript.
