Dickinson ISD approves dozens of personnel actions; appoints new transportation director and assistant principals
Summary
At its July 14 meeting the Dickinson Independent School District board approved personnel actions including 59 new hires, 39 resignations, two retirements and appointments of Shirley Miller as director of transportation and assistant principals at McAdams Junior High and San Leon Elementary.
The Dickinson Independent School District Board of Trustees on July 14 approved a slate of personnel actions reported from closed session, including 59 new hires, 39 resignations and two retirements, and appointed new school administrators and a transportation director.
The board approved the recommendation of the superintendent and the director of human resources to appoint Shirley Miller as director of transportation. Dr. Brown introduced Miller’s record: more than 30 years with Dickinson ISD in transportation roles, experience as a bus driver, driver trainer, special-needs route coordinator, regular-route coordinator and operations supervisor, and service as a Region 4 school bus safety instructor and competition leader. The motion to appoint Miller was moved and seconded and carried with a voice vote of “Aye.”
The board also approved the appointment of Miss Stephanie Tales as assistant principal at McAdams Junior High, and Miss Courtney Wolfers as assistant principal at San Leon Elementary. Dr. Brown presented both recommendations as coming from the superintendent and the executive director of human resources. Each appointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. New appointees addressed the board and briefly introduced family members in attendance.
Board members approved the personnel slate from closed session covering campus assignments and district-wide changes. The personnel report listed 59 new hires across campuses; 39 resignations by campus (examples cited included five at K. Little, two at Lobit Elementary, three at San Leon, nine at Barber and eight at the high school); and two retirements (one at Silver Nagle and one at the high school). No formal discussion of individual resignations or retirements was recorded in open session.
Discussion versus action: the personnel report originated from closed session and the board took formal votes in open session to approve the appointments and the broader personnel actions. No motions to amend the personnel slate were recorded.
Implementation notes: the appointed director of transportation and assistant principals will assume duties per district hiring practices; the board’s approval finalizes the appointments. The transcript did not specify start dates or contract terms for the appointees.
