The board approved several administrative and professional appointments during the meeting.

Superintendent Jodi Purvis recommended and the trustees approved performance-based contracts for school principals: Amy Chaney as principal at Freshwater Elementary (effective Dec. 30, 2024–June 30, 2027) and Cassie Phelps as principal at Maurepas (effective Jan. 15, 2025–June 30, 2027). The board also approved a performance-based substitute principal contract for Aaron Joneson at North Corbin Junior High (effective Jan. 5, 2025–May 23, 2025).

In facilities work for the Live Oak district, the board named Gassaway Bankston Architects as professional of record for concept design and construction cost estimates for Live Oak District elementary schools’ multipurpose facilities, and appointed McLenn Taylor Incorporated as professional of record for site selection and engineering to support final cost estimates. Both appointments were approved by motion and voice vote.

Trustees said the multipurpose facilities are intended to address deferred maintenance and to provide community space and indoor physical-education space at older elementary campuses; the site-selection work is intended to mitigate traffic issues at a South Live Oak campus by locating facilities to reduce neighborhood congestion.
