Urbandale School Board approves administration's personnel hires and processes resignations

The Urbandale Community School District Board of Directors voted to approve a package of personnel actions, including new hires and the processing of recent resignations, during a special meeting (date not specified). The board recorded a 6-0 affirmative vote on the motion to approve the administration's recommended personnel actions.

A district staff member told the board the personnel package was intended to confirm hires in time for a new administration taking effect July 1 and to allow some prework at the end of the month. The staff member said the district had posted a personnel addendum in the HR system Simbly and that the packet includes multiple hires confirmed over the summer, including a journeyman position that had recently been filled. The staff member also noted there were recent resignations, one of which involved an employee moving to a different position within the district.

Board members moved and seconded the motion to approve the personnel recommendations and conducted a roll-call vote. Board members Hauser, Kent, Menke, Ben Reisweig, Williams and Young voted yes; the board announced the motion passed, 6-0. The meeting record indicates the personnel approvals are the formal actions recommended by the administration; no changes to the recommendations were recorded during the meeting.

After the personnel vote the board approved a motion to adjourn the special meeting. The presiding officer announced the meeting was adjourned at 5:05 p.m.

The meeting transcript references a personnel addendum available in the district's Simbly system; specific job titles, hire start dates, individual names of new hires, and dollar amounts (if any) were not specified in the portion of the record provided.
