Summary
The board approved Personnel Report A, adding new teachers and support staff, accepted a retirement and a leave of absence, and adopted the consent agenda that included minutes, bills and several student field trips.
The Novi Community School District Board of Education on Jan. 22 approved Personnel Report A and adopted the consent agenda covering minutes, financial reports and multiple student trips.
Dr. Laura Carino presented the personnel recommendations. The board approved appointments including Celia Waldron for a fifth‑grade teaching position at Novi Meadows, Michelle Deland as a special‑education paraprofessional, and two new bus drivers, Matthew Simpson and Donna Swain. Dr. Carino also announced the upcoming retirement of Stacy Jobe, coordinator of community services, and that Sharon Satterfield would take a personal leave of absence for the remainder of the school year.
The board moved the personnel recommendations and approved them on a voice vote. Celia Waldron introduced herself briefly and thanked the board: "I am thrilled to be a fifth grade teacher at Novi Meadows," she said.
Trustees also approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from the Jan. 8 regular meeting, the December 2025 check register and purchase card report, and approval for several field trips and competitions (including DECA and NHS one‑act play competitions and middle‑school Science Olympiad events). The board approved these routine items without comment.
Next steps: new staff will be onboarded for the remainder of the semester and the district will plan for a smooth transition for the announced retirement and leave.
