Board confirms multiple personnel hires and routine personnel actions
Summary
The board approved personnel actions including several new hires and long‑term substitute assignments for the coming school year: Natalie Keller, Natalie (long‑term sub); Jessica Ziegler, special education teacher; Josh Long, first‑grade teacher; Shannon Kaiser, first‑grade assignment; plus broader consent on personnel items.
The Northwestern Lehigh School District board approved multiple personnel actions at its June 18 meeting, including introductions of new staff and a vote to accept the full slate of personnel items on the agenda.
Administrators introduced new hires and recommended the board approve the personnel slate. Introductions included:
- Natalie Keller — described as a long‑term substitute in the high school language-arts department for the fall semester; a recent Kutztown University graduate and local alumnus. - Jessica Ziegler — hired as a special-education teacher at Northwestern Elementary to support kindergarten through second-grade learning support students; comes from West Penn Elementary after 12 years; holds degrees from Kutztown University and additional certification as stated. - Josh Long — joining as a full-time first-grade teacher after serving as a long-term substitute at Weisenberg; Bloomsburg University graduate (speaker reference). - Shannon Kaiser — first‑grade assignment for the first marking period; recent Kutztown University graduate and former student teacher.
The board moved and approved the complete personnel item (listed on agenda item 2.01 and related personnel consent items). A voice vote recorded “Aye” and the motion passed.
Superintendent and administrators thanked staff for recruitment and welcomed the new teachers. Some additional personnel items not present at the meeting were noted as likely to be introduced at a future meeting, the superintendent said.
