Littlestown Area SD board approves multiple personnel hires; new teacher introduced

The Littlestown Area SD Board of Education voted to approve a slate of personnel hires during its meeting, including a set listed in the agenda item described as "item A." Board members approved the motion by voice vote.

The approval included a list of staff hires recorded in the meeting as Michael Kale, Greg Glintock, Isaiah Rosado and Jacob Gillis. During the discussion one of the hires was present and introduced himself to the board, identifying himself in the meeting as Larry McClintock and describing his local background and teaching experience: "I grew up here... I started my teaching journey... I'm very excited to become a full time thunderbolt," he told board members.

The board chair called for the vote after limited discussion. "All those in favor of the 4 hires signify by saying aye," a board member said. Members responded "Aye," and the chair said the motion carried.

Board members and staff briefly discussed the need for more men in primary education; one board member said, "We need more men in primary education," during the meeting while thanking the candidate for applying.

The personnel approvals were presented as part of a larger personnel block of agenda items. A subsequent motion reference in the transcript indicates the board went on to consider additional personnel items listed under other agenda letters.

The meeting record does not specify personnel contract details such as start dates, salaries, or certification verifications for the hires. Those details were not provided in the portion of the transcript available.
