Summary
The Bibb County Regular School District board approved a slate of personnel actions including hires for classroom and specialist positions, resignations, a retirement and approved a maternity leave request.
The Bibb County Regular School District board on Tuesday approved a series of personnel actions for the 2025-26 school year, including multiple teacher hires, resignations, and the retirement of a bus driver.
Among the actions approved were the employment of Damon Sweetin as instrumental music teacher/band director at Bibb County High School effective with the 2025-26 year; the hiring of Steven Young as a history teacher at Bibb County High; Casey McKenzie and Delilah Puriforri as special education teachers at Woodstock and Brent elementary schools respectively; and other local-school hires. The board accepted the resignation of Rico Dawson, a physical education teacher at Bibb County High School, effective June 25, 2025, and the retirement of bus driver Bobby Terry effective July 1, 2025. The board also approved maternity leave for Rachel Cromer from Aug. 4 to Oct. 13, 2025.
Most appointments and separations were presented by the superintendent and approved by voice votes with no roll-call tallies recorded. Substitute appointment rates were discussed briefly; a staff member said daily pay will be $85 for substitutes without a degree and $95 for those with a degree, with a bump after 20 consecutive days.
Board members did not attach additional conditions to the personnel approvals; the superintendent noted some reassignments at Britt Elementary for the coming year that reflect principal recommendations.
