Summary

The board approved personnel actions including salary/stipend matrices, retirements (Tamara Retmyer, 33 years), appointments, substitutes and transfers; new hires Lindsay (social studies), Morgan (autistic support assistant), and Rhonda (special needs personal care assistant) were introduced in the meeting.

The personnel slate moved by the personnel committee covered multiple routine items: minimum salary and stipend matrices, a list of retirements including Tamara Retmyer (noted as 33 years of service), resignations as listed, teacher appointments, a transfer (Kyle Sprinkle to the middle school), athletics staffing lists, and approval of teacher and support staff substitutes holding appropriate PA certifications.

A board member asked for a separate roll-call vote on item K‑1; staff and board proceeded with roll-call voting for the personnel items. The transcript records that the motions were approved; the board then introduced new hires in the audience. The chair introduced Lindsay as a new social studies instructor (Arcadia University graduate, May 2019), filling the vacancy from Kyle Sprinkle's transfer; Morgan as a returning staff member filling an autistic‑support instructional assistant role created with program expansion in 2024–25; and Rhonda (last name given as Shear in the introduction) as a special needs personal care assistant filling a vacancy created by the retirement of Barbara Mechli.

The introductions were brief and framed as welcome remarks; no contested debate or substantive changes to the personnel slate were recorded during this segment.
