Middletown Area SD board reappoints officers and approves new hires; board confirms athletic director hire
Summary
The board reappointed Andy Kinsey as board treasurer and David Franklin as board secretary, approved three new hires (two elementary teachers and an athletic director), and approved multiple immediate personnel action items on consent.
At the start of the meeting the board unanimously approved a series of personnel motions, including the reappointment of Andy Kinsey to serve as school board treasurer for the 2025-26 year and the reappointment of David Franklin to a four-year term as school board secretary from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2029. Mrs. Scott made the motion to reappoint the treasurer; the motion carried on a voice vote.
Human-resources director Tianna Carter introduced three candidates recommended for employment. The board approved the hires by consent: Rebecca Ahern as a learning-support teacher at Fink Elementary, Lindsay Albert as a third-grade teacher at Fink Elementary, and Trey Leach as the district’s new athletic director. Leach said he graduated from the district and described his readiness to begin in the role.
The board also approved a package of immediate action personnel items (listed on the agenda as items 16A(a)–16A(m)) by motion and second; the consent motion carried. Specific immediate-action items were presented by the administration and carried on a single vote.
Why it matters: Filling vacancies and confirming administrative officers affects district operations and governance. The athletic-director hire was noted in the superintendent’s report as a long-term investment in athletics leadership.
Next steps: New hires will be placed on district payroll and begin duties according to start dates set by Human Resources. The reappointments of treasurer and secretary will continue through the stated terms.
