Summary
The board approved a $5,000 payment to AHS Staffing to buy out a contract and hire Marilyn Wolford as a district employee, with a minimum three-year commitment spelled out in the recommendation.
The Homewood School District 153 Board of Education on July 14 approved a $5,000 contract buyout payment to AHS Staffing to hire Marilyn Wolford, a registered behavior technician (RBT) who had been working in the district through the staffing agency.
Superintendent stated the district had contracted with outside agencies to fill hard-to-staff roles and that Wolford had performed strongly while employed under the contract. The recommendation described a minimum three-year commitment from Wolford to the district in exchange for the buyout payment.
The board approved the purchase by roll call after a motion and second; the vote was recorded as unanimous among members present. The motion authorizes payment to AHS Staffing to effect conversion of Wolford from agency employee to district staff.
The transcript does not provide the full text of the buyout agreement beyond the $5,000 amount and the stated minimum three-year expectation. No additional terms, such as prorated repayment if Wolford leaves earlier, were read into the record during open session.
