The board recognized and celebrated a slate of internal promotions including director-level moves in budgeting and classification, and multiple assistant principal appointments across district schools.

Promotions announced by the superintendent included Michael (Mike) Bellows from senior manager for staffing to director for school budgets and staffing; LaCorsha Wilson from senior manager of personnel classification and compensation to director for classification and compensation; and Caprila Jennings from acting assistant director for graduation and enhancement to assistant director of graduation and enhancement.

New appointees and their supporters took photographs in the boardroom and offered brief remarks of thanks. The board and superintendent publicly congratulated each employee.
The announcements were ceremonial; no board vote or budget appropriation was recorded in the meeting transcript for these personnel actions.
