Board member praises two staff for work with high-turnover school
Summary
Member Christina Boggess publicly commended Kaylee Hyer and Emily Langdorf for sustained work with challenging students at a building that has experienced about 30% annual staff turnover, saying they "deserve the highest of accolades." No formal action was taken.
Member Christina Boggess told the board she wanted to publicly recognize two staff members, Kaylee Hyer and Emily Langdorf, for their work with students at a building with about 30% annual staff turnover.
Boggess said she has worked with the two women for a decade and that they "have taken on some of the most challenging situations" and done "profoundly excellent work." She told the board they "deserve not just an award. They deserve the highest of accolades for their effort, their perseverance, their grit, their tenacity, and their work toward excellence in education in this state."
Boggess described the building as one that has "typically had staff retention of about, 30% a year," and said the cohort of students the two staff served demonstrated notably strong, transferable skills after their interventions. She framed the recognition as appreciation for sustained performance rather than a request for a specific policy change or award grant.
No motion or formal board action related to personnel recognition was recorded in the discussion; the comments were made during the board member comment portion of the meeting and were presented as commendation.
