Summary
Belvidere CUSD 100 approved administrative contracts for Ramon V. Voorhis as a 10-month assistant principal at Washington Academy and Michelle Jacobs as 12-month special education supervisor for elementary and early childhood.
The Belvidere CUSD 100 Board of Education approved two administrative contracts June 16: a 10-month assistant-principal contract at Washington Academy for Ramon V. Voorhis and a 12-month contract for Michelle Jacobs as the district’s special education supervisor for elementary and early childhood.
Member Piggie moved and Member Diesemeyer seconded the assistant-principal contract. Ramon V. Voorhis, present at the meeting, thanked the board and said he was "very excited to start" and would begin on Aug. 8; the board noted his bilingual skills and that 65% of Washington Academy’s student population is Hispanic, describing his hire as an important addition.
The board then approved the 12-month special education supervisor contract for Michelle Jacobs by roll call. Jacobs was not present. Board members said she was recommended highly by the team and expressed confidence in her ability to lead special education across elementary and early-childhood programs.
Both contracts were approved by unanimous roll call; payroll and contract terms were not discussed in detail at the meeting.
