The Union School Corporation school board approved a series of personnel actions and administrative items during its meeting, including principal contracts, coaching appointments, the resignation of a class sponsor, and a plan to draft a benefits guide for non-certified staff.
The board chair opened the business portion of the meeting and moved to approve the October meeting minutes and financial reports; a motion was seconded and the board recorded affirmative votes. The chair then announced and sought approval of the resignation of Sarah Johns as seventh‑grade class sponsor; the motion to accept the resignation was moved and seconded and carried.
The board approved the appointment of David Reeds as elementary girls’ basketball coach after a motion and second. The board also approved Ryan Chidester’s contract as high school principal and Jim Widmer’s contract as elementary principal; both items were moved, seconded and approved. The board approved Renee Sexton’s contract as curriculum director as presented.
The board moved to approve the salary for Jeff Murray for the 2526 school year; a motion, second and affirmative vote were recorded. The transcript lists the school year as “2526”; the meeting did not clarify whether this was a typographical error or an alternate notation.
Board members approved a motion to create a classified benefit guide for non‑certified staff. A board member stated the district will draft the guide over the next 30 days and bring it forward for consideration in December. The board also approved Jeff Burke and Brandon Arnett as assistant boys’ basketball coaches.
The chair called for a motion to adjourn after the listed business; the motion was seconded and the meeting concluded.
Details recorded in the meeting transcript show motions, seconds and affirmative votes for each item, but the record does not include a complete roll‑call vote tally with named board members for each motion.
