Board approves dual-enrollment specialist hire and $500/$250 midyear incentive for staff
Summary
Richland Middle College's board approved hiring Alyssa Rodriguez as dual-enrollment specialist for the 2025-26 year and adopted a one-time midyear incentive of $500 for full-time and $250 for part-time employees, on Dec. 10.
The Richland Middle College Board voted Dec. 10 to accept an administrative recommendation to hire Alyssa Rodriguez as a dual-enrollment specialist and to adopt a one-time midyear employee incentive.
Doctor Brabham presented Rodriguez as a candidate with a bachelor's degree in early childhood and special education and relevant collegiate and nonprofit experience. "We were lucky enough to run across Miss Alyssa Rodriguez," he said, summarizing her background at sister care, Muhlenberg College and the University of New England and saying she would assist dual-enrollment students and online learners.
On compensation, administration presented a Nov. 24 memo from Sharon Matthews Hazel, Regional 1's chief financial officer, and Dr. Todd Walker, superintendent, recommending a one-time midyear incentive of $500 for full-time employees and $250 for part-time employees. Doctor Brabham asked the board to apply the same plan to Richland Middle College staff.
A motion to accept the hiring recommendation was made and seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and recorded the motion as carried. The incentive plan was moved and seconded and likewise approved by voice vote; no opposing votes were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The new dual-enrollment specialist will begin work for the remainder of the 2025-26 school year if administrative onboarding and hiring steps are completed. The board did not add conditions to the approvals during the meeting.
The board's next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 14, 2026.
