Kent Local board approves resignations, hires and role changes
Summary
The board accepted resignations and retirements, approved multiple hires and reorganized academic leadership roles, including hiring a special‑education coordinator and reallocating Title II funds for academic staff.
At the April 21 meeting the Kent Local Board of Education accepted several resignations and retirements and approved multiple personnel actions.
Unidentified Speaker 5 announced resignations and retirement notices for Faye Sherard (cafeteria worker, Kent South Middle School), Greg Moore (custodian, Kent South High School) and Judy Hilton (resignation not retirement). The superintendent also said that Jody Dillon accepted a position at a private school and that Clay Davis had been hired as a monitor, effective March 31.
The administration recommended approval of several other appointments: student worker Natalie Herron (up to 20 hours/week at $10/hour), substitute positions for Shannon Rue (paraprofessional and cafeteria) and Kayla France (cafeteria), and a reorganization of academic leadership with Jamie Brown taking on the role of chief academic officer. The district recommended hiring Allison (last name not provided in the transcript) as special education coordinator (a role previously funded with ESSER dollars) and bringing Ian/Anne into a Title II‑funded role to join the academic team.
Board members asked clarifying questions about postings created by retirements and scheduling. After a motion to act on personnel items a 1 and 2, the board recorded affirmative votes during roll call. No salaries beyond hourly student worker details were presented in the transcript; the administration said some positions are funded by Title II and ESSER funds and that supplemental funding was planned where needed.
The superintendent said the district will continue calling references and performing due diligence before final offers were made; the board approved the employment and resignation items as presented at the meeting.
