Summary

Board members announced new hires — Nicole Dean as chief human resources officer, Dana Groh as director of communications and Mike Stabil as chief financial officer — starting next Monday, and agreed to a Dec. 2 swearing-in at 5:45 p.m. followed by committee and regular meetings.

At the Nov. 17 meeting, board members announced key administrative hires and scheduling for the district's December reorganization.

A board member welcomed Nicole Dean as the district's new chief human resources officer and said Dana Groh will begin next Monday as director of communications; the same member also said Mike Stabil will start next Monday as the district's chief financial officer. The announcements were read as personnel/operational updates; no formal vote on those hirings was recorded in this transcript.

On scheduling, the board agreed to hold its reorganization meeting and the swearing-in of newly elected directors on Dec. 2. Because Judge Gill could not attend at 7 p.m., she offered a 5:45 p.m. swearing-in, followed by committee meetings at 6 p.m. and the regular meeting at 7 p.m.; the board accepted that schedule.

Before adjourning, the president confirmed committee meetings (policy, facility and finance) for the evening of Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. in the Middle School Multipurpose Room and the next regular board meeting at 7 p.m. in the same room. The meeting ended after a motion to adjourn was made and seconded.
