Summary
At an organizational meeting, the Williamston Community Schools Board of Education elected officers for 2025, authorized official bank signatories, appointed an Open Meetings Act designee, approved routine personnel actions including tenure and leave requests, and adopted a bond bid approval process.
The Williamston Community Schools Board of Education elected officers for 2025 and approved a slate of routine organizational and personnel actions at its meeting.
The board voted to name Nancy Diehl president, Sarah Bellinger vice president, Christopher Lewis treasurer and Amanda Hathaway secretary for 2025. The board also authorized Adam Spina, Sarah Tynan and Christopher Lewis to serve as official bank signatories and appointed the superintendent as the district’s Open Meetings Act designee.
The board approved the consent calendar, including minutes of the Dec. 9, 2024, meeting; granted tenure to Carrie Radsuyen; and advanced probationary status for several staff members: Madeline Stewart (third to fourth year), Connor Lugendyke (second to third year), and both Kyle Robinson and Kyle Sprague (first to second year). The board also approved extensions of maternity leave for Kimberly Kirk and Claire Cristalba as requested.
On curriculum, the board voted to add Advanced Placement European History to the high school course catalog; administrators said the class will be offered if sufficient student enrollment materializes. The board approved compensation for board members to remain at $0 for 2025 (no meeting pay) and adopted the recommended bond bid approval process so that contractors working under district-authorized construction teams can proceed with time-sensitive procurements that require board acknowledgement between regular meetings.
All motions on the consent calendar and the items listed above were approved by voice vote. The board conducted no roll-call tallies during the meeting.
