Berwick Area SD board approves consent agenda and multiple personnel hires
Summary
The board approved meeting minutes, budgetary transfers, monthly bills and a slate of personnel items including multiple teacher and counselor hires; roll calls recorded affirmative votes for the listed hires.
The Berwick Area SD board approved several routine consent items and a group of personnel hires during the meeting.
On consent, the board approved the regular meeting minutes from May 4, authorized budgetary transfers and approved monthly bills after motions and voice votes by the chair.
In personnel business the board approved a grouped motion covering personnel items 1 through 11. The meeting then considered individual personnel approvals by number. The transcript records the following approvals by item number and position as read into the record:
• Item 12 — Jamie Decker, elementary teacher, beginning at bachelor’s step 1. • Item 13 — Dylan (middle school), beginning at master’s plus 45, step not specified in the transcript. • Item 14 — Ashley Funk, middle school language‑arts teacher, beginning at master’s, step 13. • Item 15 — Elizabeth Dean, middle‑school math teacher, beginning at bachelor’s step 1. • Item 16 — Kimberly McLaughlin, special‑education teacher, beginning at master’s plus 45, step 11. • Item 17 — Mikayla Hess, guidance counselor, beginning at master’s, step 4.
Roll calls were taken for individual approvals. The transcript records affirmative roll‑call responses from board members (examples shown exactly as read): "Mister Eisenhower? Yes." "Missus Picrella? Yes." Additional roll‑call names and affirmative responses appear in the record but the transcript text contains repeats and some inconsistent spellings; votes were recorded as affirmative for the listed hires.
No abstentions or defeats were recorded in the transcript for the personnel items read during this meeting.
Next steps: Personnel hires are recorded as approved in the minutes; any further employment paperwork and start‑date specifics will be handled administratively.
