The school board approved the personnel packet submitted in the July 17 meeting, which included multiple memos, updated job descriptions and requests for additional pay for summer work and committee participation.

Key items included: a memo authorizing up to five days (40 hours) of administrative leave for certain employees in the event of school closures from July 28 to January 9; inactivation of some part‑time retired employees for the 2025‑26 school year; authorization to fill currently unbilled positions immediately when identified; two part‑time success interventionist positions at Redford High to support 12th‑grade students at $30 per hour; a part‑time ELA student success adviser for Central Middle and South Haven campus schools at 19.5 hours/week at $30 per hour; updated job descriptions to better reflect role differences; added school psychologist pay scale increases up to $1,000; various pay requests for teacher‑led professional development, net chairs and committee work; and a one‑month $10,000 summer grass‑cutting payment to a plant maintenance employee for July.

Other items approved included after‑school tutoring contracts for special education students at Olive Branch Middle School beginning July 31, 2025, through May 22, 2026, at $30 per hour, and several summer tutoring and committee stipends with specified hours and rates listed in the packet. The packet items were moved for approval by administration and passed on voice votes; motions and seconds were recorded but individual vote tallies were not transcribed.

Board members thanked staff for preparing the packet and noted it was a busy time for hiring and summer operations. The approvals permit staff to begin filling positions and implementing summer programs.
