Board accepts teacher resignation and approves multiple hires and coaching assignments

The Rossville Con School District board accepted the resignation of Amy Shune, a mathematics teacher, effective Jan. 9 and approved a package of personnel recommendations at its Nov. 4 regular session.

Staff member presented the personnel slate, recommending Megan Arnone for a Tier 1 instructional assistant position at Rossville Middle–Senior High School and Bryn Hager for a math education position at the same campus, with a prorated starting salary noted in the record. The board also approved volunteer coaching assignments: Brianna Harper as sixth-grade girls basketball volunteer coach and Tyler Rod as sixth-grade head girls basketball coach, along with several substitute teachers (including Lehi Hillwood, Morgan Young and Mary Jane Miller) and temporary middle-school science teacher contracts for Christina Griffin (Jan. 5–March 19) and Rochelle Scolley (March 30–April 15). The record indicates temporary positions will be compensated at a daily rate equivalent to the new teacher base pay.

Chair moved to approve the personnel items; the motion was seconded by Staff member and passed by voice vote after brief discussion confirming that the outgoing teacher intended to remain until a replacement was found. The board did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript.

The personnel actions were presented as routine recommendations from district leadership and will take effect on the dates listed in the personnel report unless otherwise amended.

Next steps: personnel start dates and related employment paperwork will be handled by district administration per standard hiring procedures.
