Board approves personnel items; Chris Berger named deputy assistant superintendent for human resources

The Monroe-Woodbury Board of Education approved the personnel items presented at Wednesday's meeting, including the appointment of Chris Berger to the role of deputy assistant superintendent for human resources, with the expectation he will move into the assistant superintendent for human resources position in time.

Board members moved and seconded the personnel agenda items as presented by the personnel officer and the chair announced the motion carried. The transcript records the formal motion and the public meeting vote: "All in favor? Aye. Motion carries." The district did not provide additional public detail about contract length, start date or salary in the presentation recorded at the meeting; those items were marked as personnel details in the agenda packet.

Why it matters: The appointment establishes district leadership in human resources and continues the district's internal succession planning for the HR office.
