Westerville board approves minutes, a then‑and‑now purchase and personnel renewals; retirements recognized
Summary
The Westerville City Schools Board approved meeting minutes, one then‑and‑now purchase order for interpreter services and a personnel consent agenda that included contract renewals and several retirements; board recognized retirees earlier in the meeting
The Westerville City Schools Board of Education on May 5 approved routine business: minutes from prior meetings, one then‑and‑now purchase order, and a personnel consent agenda that included contract renewals and several retirements.
Board members approved the minutes of the April 21 regular meeting and the April 28 special session by roll call. The board also approved a then‑and‑now purchase order for the district’s English learners department to cover interpreter services; the treasurer explained the purchase order was dated after the invoice and requires board approval for payment when it exceeds $3,000 but was budgeted.
Nut graf: The personnel consent agenda included resignations, leaves, one‑time pays and annual renewals for classified staff with expiring contracts. District staff announced and the board recognized multiple retirees during the meeting; administrators said the district collectively is losing many years of experience across licensed and classified staff.
At the board meeting, personnel items were presented by the district’s HR representative, who noted five retirees by name on the personnel agenda: Sally Raymond (19 years), Scott Weston (25 years), Shannon Whitmer (28 years), Katherine Myers (19 years) and Scott Dorn (31 years). The board approved the personnel consent agenda by roll call.
Ending: Board members offered congratulations to retirees and thanked them for years of service. No substantive policy adoptions or final votes on the staffing controversies discussed during public comment were taken at this meeting; several board members said they would follow up with additional questions for staff.
