Board welcomes new principals, approves substitute roles and hears FFA report
Summary
Board introduced Stephanie (assistant principal) and Dr. Floresta Shope (elementary principal), approved Terry Garrick as substitute middle-school principal and a volunteer substitute bus driver, and accepted an FFA report from Emma Strickler about recent leadership trips and service work.
The board formally introduced two new school leaders and approved multiple personnel items. The superintendent introduced "miss Stephanie Tagg" and then staff member Stephanie said, "I come from Sioux Valley... I had extensive experience with intervention and literacy as an intervention specialist for the last, like, 14 years." The board also welcomed Dr. Floresta Shope, introduced as the incoming elementary principal; Dr. Shope said she is "super excited to be here" and described nearly 30 years of experience working with grades three through six.
Personnel votes: The board approved a slate of personnel items via the consent agenda, including substitute lists, certified and classified contracts, activity stipends and administrative contracts. New business motions approved Terry Garrick as a substitute middle-school principal at $375 per day (up to 27 days) and approved a volunteer substitute bus driver for the coming school year.
Student report and trip approval: Emma Strickler, president of the Amanda Clear Creek FFA chapter, reported on leadership camps, a scholarship-funded Washington Leadership Conference and a community service project that packed over 2,000 food bags for people experiencing homelessness. The board also approved the FFA's planned trip to the Eastern States Exposition in Springfield, Massachusetts, in September; the superintendent called it an honor for students to compete at that event.
Why it matters: The hires fill building leadership roles important to literacy and elementary programs ahead of the new school year; the substitute approvals and volunteer driver address near-term staffing needs. The FFA activities reflect extracurricular opportunities and community service by students.
Next steps: Personnel contracts and substitute assignments will be processed according to district HR procedures. The FFA trip will move forward following standard trip authorization and logistics.
