Fairfield Union board approves hire of Cassie Wolf and rehires Christina Smith

The Fairfield Union Local School District Board of Education on a unanimous vote approved a one-year support-service contract for Cassie Wolf to fill the open aide position at Bremen Elementary and approved reemployment of Christina Smith as administrative assistant to the superintendent.

The approvals were included in new business during the board's regular meeting. Superintendent Mike Bellville said the district received 18 applications for the Bremen aide opening, interviewed six candidates and recommended Wolf. Treasurer Mrs. Roberts told the board that Cassie Wolf’s start date is “to be determined” pending verification of required application materials and any needed permit.

The board took the two personnel actions by recorded roll calls. The motion to hire Wolf was moved by Mrs. Conrad Zangmeister and seconded by Mr. Smelter; the motion passed unanimously. The motion to rehire Christina Smith — listed as "administrator assistant to the superintendent" beginning Oct. 2, 2025 at 75% of step 46 on the salary schedule F1 — was moved and seconded and likewise passed by unanimous roll call.

Superintendent Bellville told the board he strongly recommended rehire of Smith and thanked her for 45 years of service. Treasurer Roberts noted the administrative start date for Wolf would be entered on the employment contract once the district receives necessary permit verification.

The board recorded the personnel approvals in public session and entered no additional conditions on either hire; both motions were approved unanimously.
