Summary
Trustees approved a hiring item under Indiana Code 20-26-5-11.2(c), accepted personnel recommendations including retirements, approved the district's annual school safety plan and appointed board representatives to the Teacher of the Year and High Ability committees.
Plainfield Community School Corp trustees approved a series of personnel and safety items during their Sept. 11 meeting, including a hiring action processed under Indiana Code 20-26-5-11.2(c), personnel recommendations that included retirements at the high school, adoption of the annual school safety plan and appointment of two board representatives.
Mr. Olinger, a district staff member, presented the personnel recommendations and said an addendum included three additional hires received after the packet was distributed. He also noted two high-school teachers listed on the personnel recommendations intend to retire at the end of the school year; the transcript identifies them only by first names and the board did not provide further personnel details in open session.
The board approved the hiring item processed under Indiana Code 20-26-5-11.2(c); the transcript records the statute citation during the consideration of that agenda item. Trustees also approved the broader personnel list by voice vote.
On school safety, Mr. Miller, a district staff member, asked the board to approve the district's annual safety plan. Mr. Miller referenced Mr. Menser as the committee lead who previously briefed trustees during a work session; the board approved the safety plan by voice vote.
Board member Laura recommended appointing Judd to the Teacher of the Year committee and Jessica Elston to the broad-based High Ability committee; trustees approved both appointments by voice vote.
Why it matters: personnel approvals and the annual safety plan authorize staffing and safety procedures that shape day-to-day school operations; committee appointments provide board representation on selection and program-review committees.
Details and next steps: the hiring under Indiana Code 20-26-5-11.2(c) was presented and approved; the personnel list included retirements to be addressed through routine staffing and replacement processes. The approved safety plan will remain in district records as the annually required plan for school operations.
