Bath Central board appoints Amy Rusek to Scott Ward seat; approves consent agenda and personnel actions
Summary
The Bath Central School District board voted 6-0 to appoint Amy Rusek to complete Scott Ward’s term and approved the consent agenda, a personnel hire from the callback list and several routine business items during its September meeting.
The Bath Central School District board voted to appoint Amy Rusek as a board of education member to complete the term of Scott Ward, effective Aug. 14, 2025, with the seat to stand for election when results are certified on May 19, 2026. The chair made the motion to approve the appointment and the board recorded a 6-0 vote in favor.
The board also approved minutes from its Aug. 14 meeting and moved several items as a single consent motion, which passed unanimously. Among approved business items were routine personnel actions: following a teaching assistant resignation, the district offered the role to the next candidate on the callback list (identified in the meeting as Tracy), who will begin on Monday, and the personnel consent item was approved 6-0.
Board members briefly discussed procedural housekeeping when the appointment paperwork and the oath were found not to have been completed at the same time; the chair said the oath had been administered even though the paperwork was missed and the board formalized the appointment by motion.
The meeting included no public expressions during the public-comment window. The chair then called for adjournment and the meeting closed following a motion to adjourn.
What happens next: the temporary appointment will remain in place until the May 19, 2026 election results are received, per the timeline provided at the meeting.
