Summary

The board considered a slate of personnel motions (A–J). Board approved the package by roll call; the record notes at least one 'nay' recorded specifically on item H. Administration announced Heather Gollmer as the new Easton Area Middle School principal and Jeffrey Bauder as director of transportation.

The board reviewed and considered a set of personnel motions covering retirements, resignations, leaves, administrative transfers, voluntary transfers, long‑term substitutes, support staff hires, administrative staff appointments, a professional hire and a volunteer coach election (motions A through J).

The motions were moved and seconded and the chair called a roll‑call vote. Multiple members responded "Aye," while one speaker on the record announced a "Nay on H" and "Aye on the rest." The administration then described item H: Heather Gollmer (introduced by administration) was named head principal of Easton Area Middle School after an "arduous" selection process and was invited to speak; she thanked the board and said she looks forward to partnering with parents and community.

Administrators also introduced Jeffrey Bauder as the district's new director of transportation and noted his 20+ years of experience in public‑education transportation; he was welcomed and given the opportunity to speak briefly.

The transcript does not record a full, itemized roll‑call list of every member's vote by name. The chair recorded the motion, and the body proceeded with the remainder of the agenda. No formal amendment to the personnel slate was recorded in the meeting transcript.
