Summary
The Sheridan County School District #3 board approved several personnel contracts and a planning contract for summer construction, accepted a staff retirement and hired a new head volleyball coach. The board also approved a single-position pay adjustment and tabled a curriculum decision until March.
The Sheridan County School District #3 board approved a series of personnel and planning actions at its regular meeting, approving an assistant principal contract, the assistant special education director’s contract, a planning contract with a design firm for summer construction, a single-position pay increase, hiring of a head volleyball coach, and accepting a staff retirement.
Board members moved and seconded approval of the consent items and the individual contracts as presented. The contract with a design firm was described by board members as a planning- and bidding-phase engagement; the board clarified it does not authorize construction work. A speaker said the concept-development portion of that contract was expected to be “not to exceed $5,000” and another numeric figure was recorded in the discussion but was unclear in the transcript.
Trustees approved the hiring of Morgan Kremers as the high school head volleyball coach for the 2026–2027 school year. A board member noted Kremers’s local ties and certification and that she is currently working in Buffalo. The board also approved an assistant principal contract and an assistant special education director contract, each recommended by administration, by voice vote.
The board accepted the retirement letter of Brenda Michelino. Multiple trustees praised Michelino’s work in the district business office, noting she documented processes and trained a replacement. A trustee described the retirement as the culmination of years of service and said Michelino’s work left the office in a position where “somebody could walk in and follow the instructions.”
Separately, the board approved a nonstandard compensation increase for one position to reflect an increase in responsibilities and to align pay with comparable roles. Board members said the change affects only a single position in the district.
All motions on personnel and contracts were carried by voice vote. The board scheduled follow-up work sessions on implementation and recommended administrative oversight of the contracted planning work.
