Southmoreland SD board accepts resignation of employee 1771, effective May 15, 2025
Summary
The Southmoreland School District board approved a resignation agreement for employee 1771 effective May 15, 2025. Board members questioned whether the six-page agreement is routinely provided to all departing employees and noted personnel confidentiality limited what could be discussed in public.
The Southmoreland School District Board of Education voted to accept the resignation request of employee 1771, effective May 15, 2025, per an attached agreement.
During the personnel section of the agenda, a board member asked whether all resigning employees receive the same six-page agreement. Staff responded that resignations are typically handled on the personnel log and that specific terms of personnel agreements cannot be discussed in public because they are personnel matters.
A roll call vote on the resignation recorded the following: Mr. Accipiter — no; Mr. Yutze — yes; Dr. Fike — no; Mr. Freund — yes; Mrs. Geyer — yes; Mr. Grabiak — yes; Mrs. O'Rear — yes; Mr. Shipley — yes. The motion carried 6–2.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the form of the agreement and whether its use was routine; staff said details were covered in executive session and therefore could not be discussed during open meeting. The board did not provide further details about the reasons for the resignation or the text of the agreement on the public record.
