Board approves personnel schedules, administrative salary placements and verifies administrator licensure pathway

The Winton Woods City School Board approved a package of personnel actions, including salary schedules, administrative salary placements effective Aug. 1, and personnel listings that include an early childhood campus principal assignment and a resolution to enable an administrator to apply for required licensure.

Superintendent Denny presented several personnel items. The board approved an exempt employee salary schedule effective Aug. 1 and multiple personnel schedules (schedules A, B, C, D, E and L). Denny said the board was being asked to approve Jahquille Hargrove as the early childhood campus (ECC) principal with a contract effective Aug. 1 and a request to allow workdays before Aug. 1 so "he can get the building ready rather than starting kind of behind the 8 ball." The board approved the request to allow pre-start workdays.

The board also approved a resolution verifying an administrative position so that Charlie Owens can apply to the Ohio Department of Education for alternate administrative licensure; Denny explained the resolution is the district-level sponsor language required by the application process. A board member clarified that the job offer must precede an application for licensure, and Denny confirmed the personnel schedule included the hire.

Board members also observed a personnel note on Schedule L: the board learned that bus driver Margarette Margarita Reese Sator had died; board members offered condolences and said the district would make customary outreach to the family, including flowers.

The board approved the classified administrative salary schedule and the certified administrative salary schedule (salary ranges) and then approved specific administrative salary placements effective Aug. 1. All votes on these personnel matters were unanimous.
