Greene County Salary Board approves dozens of hires, reclassifications, resignations and pay adjustments
Summary
At the Sept. 18 Salary Board meeting, Greene County authorized multiple personnel moves across departments including reclassifications and hires in Children & Youth Services, human services transfers, several jail pay increases for management, and multiple terminations and resignations.
The Greene County Salary Board on Sept. 18, 2025, approved a slate of personnel actions spanning Children & Youth Services (CYS), human services, maintenance, emergency management, public defender’s office, courts and the jail.
