Oldham County Board approves waiver on military-service credit to hire Brian Wilson
Summary
During the superintendent report on June 4, the board approved a waiver allowing Brian Wilson's years of military service to be counted beyond the four years currently recognized in district policy so he may be hired; the district will revise the policy in subsequent readings.
The Oldham County Board of Education on June 4 approved a waiver of a district policy limiting credited military service to four years so that Brian Wilson may be hired with credit for his actual years of service. The motion to approve the waiver passed 4-0.
Suzanne, identified in the meeting record as a staff member, requested the waiver during the superintendent report, saying the district would need to revise its written policy in subsequent board readings but wanted permission to proceed with hiring based on Mr. Wilson's years of service.
A board member asked whether the candidate was classified versus certified; the question was recorded as coming from Adam, and the board noted the policy as written appears in the certified section even though the hire would be in a classified role. The board agreed to approve the waiver and to address the policy language after the meeting.
The meeting record shows the motion to approve the waiver was made by Miss Sheffer and seconded by Miss Hundley; the chair announced the vote as 4-0 in favor. The board then moved to an executive session under a Kentucky statute to discuss personnel matters.
The district did not place the revised policy language or the precise number of credited years for Mr. Wilson on the public record at the June 4 meeting; board members said the policy would require one or two readings before a formal policy change was adopted.
