Summary
Trustees introduced Maurice Gillum as incoming technology staff, honored retirees (including Nurse Drew Holderness) and approved two personnel items to add an administrative secretary (I9) and a technical maintenance worker (I10).
The board on Dec. 18 introduced Maurice Gillum as the incoming replacement for retiring technology director Lisa Jones and recognized departing staff including Nurse Drew Holderness, who spoke to the board about her long service.
Trustees approved personnel items I9 and I10. I9 adds an administrative secretary to support the deputy/associate superintendent and multiple departments; board members said the role will not push administrative costs over the state's 4% target for administration. I10 creates a new technical maintenance-worker position focused on electrical, plumbing and HVAC tasks to reduce repair turnaround and reliance on outside contractors; staff said they hope to hire a licensed electrician or plumber to reduce external repair costs and speed response times.
Board members emphasized lean administrative staffing and the practical need for in-house technical skills to maintain building systems and reduce emergency expenses.
