Salina board votes to issue termination notice to teacher and approves special education settlement
Summary
After executive sessions, the board authorized written notice of intent to terminate nonprobationary teacher Amanda Freeman and unanimously approved a settlement and release of litigation concerning special education services for a student.
Following closed-session deliberations on personnel and contracts, a board member moved to accept Resolution 0525 stating the board's intent to terminate nonprobationary teacher Amanda Freeman's contract for the 2025-26 school year and to authorize the clerk to issue written notice informing her of the board's intent and her right to a hearing. The motion was seconded and approved by the board, 6-0.
Later, after a separate executive session for attorney-client consultation, a board member moved to accept a settlement agreement and release of litigation related to special education services for a student. The motion was seconded by Bonnie and approved 6-0.
Both actions followed statutorily allowed executive sessions for personnel and attorney-client matters; the board returned to open session and announced there was no further public action on the personnel session other than the motions described. The motions authorize the clerk to notify affected parties and preserve the board's options for a hearing or other proceedings required by state law.
