West Geauga board approves certified and classified staff appointments for 2025-26 school year

The West Geauga Local School District Board of Education approved certified and classified staff appointments for the 2025–26 school year by unanimous roll-call votes on Resolutions 300 and 301. A board official summarized progress on hiring: “We're getting there. We're almost there. Few more and then we'll be done for the year and all fully staffed,” a board official said. When asked how many hires remained, a board official said, “I think we have 1 more. We're down to the lone ranger.” The transcript records unanimous yes votes during roll call for both resolutions; individual staff names and specific positions were not stated in the spoken record. During the meeting the board also announced its next meetings; the transcript states a special board meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. in the Board Office Community Room and a regular board meeting is scheduled for Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. in the same room. The transcript contains a garbled date for the special meeting; the time and location were clear in the spoken record. Board members moved to adjourn at the conclusion of business.
