Jennings County board adopts NEOLA AI policies; approves summer-school staff and personnel actions
Summary
The board approved a package of NEOLA policies addressing AI use by a 7-0 vote, authorized summer-school hires and support-staff postings, and took personnel actions including administrative leave and terminations for two transportation employees.
The Jennings County School Corporation board voted 7-0 to adopt a group of NEOLA policies focused on artificial-intelligence use and approved multiple summer-school staff recommendations and support-staff actions during its meeting.
The NEOLA policies were introduced under old business and a motion to approve was made by Board member Pat and seconded by Board member Chelsea. "All those in favor? Seven-zero," the presiding officer said, recording the unanimous approval.
Summer school and staffing approvals The board reviewed an informal summer-school update: high school credit-recovery programming will continue, and the district said second graders who did not pass state assessments will have an opportunity for remediation during summer school. The board approved a slate of summer-school hires and part-time custodial and paraeducator positions; names listed in the packet included Casey Bruce, Erin Green, Crystal Hammond, Toby Harrell, Ashley Heindel and multiple others.
Under support staff and personnel actions the board asked permission to post a transportation administrative-assistant position. The board also approved recommendations that included placing bus driver Scott Alcorn on administrative leave and a subsequent personnel action listing Scott Alcorn as terminated; a similar pair of entries showed Tanya Perry placed on administrative leave and later terminated. Motions to approve the personnel recommendations were moved and seconded on the record and carried unanimously.
Why it matters Adoption of NEOLA policies brings the district in line with the model policy language many Indiana districts use for technology and AI governance, and the summer-school and personnel votes finalize short-term staffing needed to run programs over the summer and maintain operations.
The board moved on to donations and contracts after completing the personnel and policy items.
