Board approves hire, two policies, food-service equipment purchase and a retirement settlement resolution
Summary
The Dexter Community School District Board of Education approved a probationary administrative contract to hire Janette Kiernan as Wiley principal, adopted two policies on district property use and approved a purchase and a legal settlement resolution; approvals were made by roll call.
The Dexter Community School District Board of Education approved a set of action items including the hire of a Wiley principal, final adoption of two district policies, a food-service equipment purchase and a resolution documenting a settlement related to retirement-calculation corrections.
In personnel action, the board voted to offer Janette Kiernan a probationary administrative contract as Wiley principal effective July 1, 2025. The motion was moved and seconded; the board approved by roll call. The meeting record shows the board saying “aye” during the roll call of members present.
The board gave second-reading and final approval to two policies: Policy 3305, Sale or lease of district property, and Policy 4220, Use or disposal of district property. The policies were approved by roll call following their first-reading on March 14, 2025.
The board approved a purchase recommendation to replace the Wiley walk-in freezer and cooler. The packet identified the Food and Nutrition Director, Jennifer Madison, as the requester and stated funds for the purchase will come from the nonprofit food service account and related fund balance. The presenters noted a contingency in the purchase price to cover unknown site conditions behind an existing wall in the old kitchen area.
The board also approved a resolution intended to document and administratively implement the settlement of a multi-year legal case involving retirement-calculation payments handled by the Office of Retirement Services. Meeting materials described the matter as an eight-year-old case; the resolution was drafted by the district’s attorneys and is intended to provide documentation for retirees who received additional payments under the settlement.
All of the above action items were presented and approved during the meeting; roll-call voting for action items was recorded as “aye” for members present. The meeting record did not provide mover and seconder names for all motions and did not list a breakdown of dissenting votes; the board’s roll-call presence earlier in the meeting included Mr. Oliver, Mr. Arnold, Mr. Bruderly, Mr. Scola and Ms. Angus.
