Perrysburg board approves RIF for nonteaching staff, confirms new principals and several retirements
Summary
The board approved a required resolution effecting reductions in force for nonteaching employee contracts, confirmed administrative hires and noted multiple retirements; the consent agenda and the RIF passed by roll call votes.
Perrysburg Exempted Village School District trustees approved a reduction‑in‑force resolution affecting nonteaching employee contracts and confirmed several administrative hires and retirements at their May 19 meeting.
The board voted by roll call to adopt the reduction‑in‑force resolution for nonteaching employees; the exhibit listing names and affected positions was included in the board documents available to members. The motion passed with all trustees voting yes.
Administrators also introduced recommended hires for building leadership. Justin Fultz was presented as the recommended high school principal, and Brandon Decker was named the recommended HPI principal; both were recognized at the meeting. The board then approved the broader consent agenda that included personnel contracts, recalls from layoff lists and administrative contracts.
Superintendent Hosler and staff noted a wave of retirements and resignations that occurred amid the district’s staffing adjustments. Examples cited at the meeting included long‑time employees and instructional and support staff: Scott Best (HPI), Jessica Molina (Toth), Valerie McConkie (speech therapist), Tracy Limes (Frank physical education), Mike Andrews (HPI math), and Laura Frank (Perrysburg Junior High librarian), among others. District staff said some positions vacated through retirements allowed the district to recall previously laid‑off teachers into available roles.
The nut graf: the formal RIF applies to nonteaching contracts as permitted by collective‑bargaining provisions and was accompanied by multiple staffing moves—both hires and retirements—that the administration said have helped the district reallocate personnel amid budget adjustments.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the administrative contracts included in the consent agenda; administrators confirmed the current action extends existing administrative contracts for two years with no salary increase in light of recent budget reductions.
The board approved the consent agenda and the RIF resolution by separate roll calls. Trustees and administrators thanked departing staff for years of service during the meeting, and administration said it will continue processing recalls and hiring as needed to staff the district for the coming school year.
