Board approves teacher hires and adopts retirement resolutions acknowledging 102 combined years of service
Summary
The board approved a slate of teacher hires for 2025–26 and adopted resolutions honoring four retirees whose combined service the administration put at 102 years.
The Livonia Public Schools Board of Education on Aug. 18 approved employment offers for teachers listed in the administration’s hiring document and adopted resolutions of appreciation for four retiring employees.
The teachers‑for‑approval motion was made by Mr. McFarland and seconded by Mrs. Frank. Human resources director/representative Michael Abate told the board the recommended hires largely fill special education positions and that all positions were budgeted for 2025–26; the board carried the motion by roll call vote.
The board also adopted retirement resolutions for Julie Kanashevsky, Andrew McMillan, Kimberly Plasencia and Susan Sutherland after Abate said they leave the district “after giving a combined total of 102 years of successful years of service.” The retirement motion was made by Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mrs. Jarvis and approved by roll call.
The motions cited attached lists (the hiring list and the retirement resolutions) presented to the board. The transcript references the documents but does not list the full set of new hires in speech; the board approved the items as presented.
