Parents and staff urge Warren County School Board to delay personnel report addendum amid Title IX concerns
Summary
Several parents and school staff asked the board to delay approval of a personnel report addendum until pending Title IX investigations are complete, calling the action "passing the trash" and raising concerns about student safety; the board moved to approve multiple personnel reports and the addendum, but the provided transcript ends during discussion and does not record a vote outcome.
Several parents and a school staff member told the Warren County School Board on Aug. 6 that the board should not approve a personnel report addendum while Title IX investigations involving staff remain open.
"Allowing the personnel report to go through is simply passing the trash from Warren County to another county," said parent Natalie Norton, who identified herself as the parent of a student who will attend Skyline High School. Norton asked the board to let her Title IX investigation conclude, saying she believed "there is an immediate threat to children." Sherry Anloff, an instructional assistant, urged trustees to "vote against the personnel report addendum until any and all investigations can be complete," saying some students cannot advocate for themselves. Mary Troy, speaking on behalf of her daughter and grandson, also asked the board to delay the addendum and said her grandson "deserves this."
Board members later introduced a motion to approve personnel reports dated July 22, July 29 and Aug. 6 and the personnel report addendum of Aug. 6. The motion was seconded and discussion began; the provided transcript cuts off during that discussion and does not record whether the board voted on the motion or what the final outcome was.
Why it matters: Community members framed the matter as one of student safety and due process. Public commenters asked the board to allow investigative processes to finish so the district does not transfer staff with unresolved allegations to other jurisdictions, a practice sometimes described as "passing the trash."
What the board record shows: The transcript includes the public comments described above and records the motion to approve the multiple personnel reports and the addendum, but no recorded vote result appears in the provided excerpt.
Next steps: The personnel reports and addendum were on the action agenda and had a motion on the table at the end of the available transcript; any subsequent vote or procedural outcome was not captured in the material provided.
