The Greater Johnstown School Board accepted the resignation of Derek Callahan, a physical education teacher at Johnson Elementary School, and authorized posting the vacancy at the meeting.

The board also approved a sabbatical and compensated professional leave request for employee number 2374 for the first semester of the 2025-26 school year; the employee is to return on the first day of the second semester, according to the motion approved by the board.

Several personnel appointments and committee reports were approved during the meeting. Examples recorded in the minutes include the appointment of an assistant principal to Johnson Elementary (PN01/25) and numerous teacher and supplemental coach appointments listed under personnel negotiations (PN items PN03–PN45 series). Several motions were carried by voice or roll call as noted during the proceedings.

On the superintendent’s contract, the superintendent told the board the one-year extension she received “allows me to retire officially from the school district on 06/30/2027.” She said the extension gives her time to support a transition and continue partnerships and programming.

A roll-call vote was recorded for at least one personnel item (PN43); in that roll call, board member Mister Davy registered an abstention, and other listed members voted yes or no as recorded in the meeting minutes. The transcript records many routine confirmations of appointments and several tablings of items assessed by the personnel committee.

The actions recorded at the meeting were administrative and personnel-focused; the board did not take votes at the meeting on hiring searches for the superintendent position, and the superintendent said the extension followed board approval. The board directed human-resources staff to post vacancies created by accepted resignations and to process sabbatical paperwork.
