Forest Hills Board approves administrative hire, bus-driver contract and moves next meeting to Fine Arts Center
Summary
The Forest Hills Board of Education approved an administrative contract for Jacob Strobfeid, ratified a wage-and-benefit agreement for bus drivers and officially moved its next meeting to the district Fine Arts Center; all actions passed by voice vote.
The Forest Hills Board of Education approved multiple routine personnel and operational items at a special public meeting, including hiring an administrator, ratifying a wage-and-benefit agreement for bus drivers and changing the location of its next regular meeting.
Speaker 2 called for approval of the minutes from the board's Sept. 6, 2024, meeting, after which Speaker 4 moved and seconded approval; the board approved the minutes by voice vote. Speaker 2 then explained that a larger crowd is expected at the next regular meeting and asked the board to move that meeting to the district Fine Arts Center, which is attached to the current facility but has a separate address. Speaker 1 moved the location change, it was seconded and approved by voice vote.
On personnel matters, Speaker 2 requested approval to issue an administrative contract for the 2024–25 school year to the person identified in the record as Joseph/Jason/Jacob Strobfeid. The motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript contains inconsistent pronunciations and spellings of the hiree's name. The board also approved a wage-and-benefit agreement for Forest Hills bus drivers after a motion from Speaker 4 and a second; Speaker 2 called for a voice vote and the measure passed.
Each of the above actions was taken by motion and voice vote; the transcript records board members saying 'aye' and no recorded opposition in the provided excerpt. None of the recorded segments attached detailed roll-call tallies or recorded individual member votes by name.
Board staff did not provide additional public detail in the excerpt about the administrative contract’s salary, start date or specific position title beyond the name recorded in the motion. The wage-and-benefit agreement also was approved on the record without further specifics about the terms in the excerpt.
Next steps: The board formally changed the next regular meeting location to the Fine Arts Center and will proceed with onboarding and contract processing for the approved administrative hire; more detailed contract terms and the full bus-driver agreement were not specified in the provided transcript.
