Board approves hires and one-year contracts for social worker and assistant principals
Summary
The board approved three staffing actions: a one‑year ancillary contract for school social worker Elliot Fish, a one‑year probationary contract making Kelly Moffitt assistant principal at Hillside Middle School, and a one‑year probationary contract for Daniel Schmidt Diehl as assistant principal at Northville High School.
The Northville Public Schools board approved a set of personnel motions Tuesday that the administration said will fill key student‑support and building leadership roles for the 2025–26 school year.
Elliot Fish: The board approved motion 106 to award a one‑year ancillary staff contract to Elliot Fish as a school social worker at Winchester Elementary for 2025–26. Administration noted Fish completed a school social work internship at Winchester through Wayne State University and demonstrated classroom‑level familiarity with the school during the internship.
Kelly Moffitt: Motion 107 awarded a one‑year probationary NASA contract to Kelly Moffitt to serve as assistant principal at Hillside Middle School. Moffitt had been serving as interim assistant principal for several months; the district said she was selected following a stakeholder interview process that included teachers, staff, administrators and students.
Daniel Schmidt Diehl: Motion 108 authorized a one‑year probationary contract to hire Daniel Schmidt Diehl as assistant principal at Northville High School. Administration said Schmidt Diehl currently serves as principal at Eastlake High School in Pinellas County, Florida, and will join Northville after completing his current responsibilities; references described him as “compassionate” and student‑centered.
Why it matters: The hires fill operational roles in student support and building leadership ahead of next school year. Board members praised stakeholder participation—teachers, support staff and students—in the selection process and thanked families of candidates for their support.
Implementation: All motions passed by voice vote or roll call as required. The district said standard onboarding and contract paperwork will follow and that the hires will begin work in advance of the 2025–26 school year.
