Delaware City Schools board approves administrator salary changes, personnel actions and moves to executive session

The Delaware City Schools Board of Education on July 7 approved revisions to multiple administrative salary schedules, accepted personnel resignations and hires on its consent agenda, authorized a 2.5% increase to the CCLC coordinator pay schedule, and voted to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters.

The board approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda by roll call, each motion receiving unanimous support from the five board members present. The consent agenda, read by a staff member, included the resignation of Adam Haines from his social studies teacher position and the employment of Adam Haines as assistant principal at Hays High School for the coming year. The consent agenda also listed classified staff resignations and hires: classified staff Jacob Fritch and Ashley Rodello (resignations) and the employment of Kim Birchfield, Cade Kanter, Monique Davis, Alyssa Droll and Drew Naomi (classified hires). The consent agenda received a roll-call approval with all voting members recorded as "yes."

On action item 3.1 the board approved revisions to administrative salary schedules identified in the meeting as ADS 5E, CLS 2 and CLS 3. That motion passed by unanimous roll-call vote. On item 3.2 the board approved elimination of the administrative CLS 4 salary schedule, with the transcript noting an effective date of 08/01/2025; that motion also passed unanimously. On item 3.3 the board approved a 2.5% increase to the CCLC coordinator schedule as presented. The motion to authorize an amendment to administrator contracts (item 3.4) to add specified language to current and future contracts was approved by unanimous roll call.

Following those approvals, the board moved into executive session under the stated purpose of discussing the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion or compensation of an employee or official, or the investigation of charges or complaints against an employee, official, licensee or student, unless a public hearing is requested. The motion to enter executive session passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
