Troy Area SD board approves consent agenda including a cafeteria retirement and discusses bus driver shortage
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda (unanimous roll call) including the retirement of cafeteria worker Ronnie Dean and two resignations; members also discussed driver-list updates, vehicle upgrades and cross-district driver coverage to address a shortage.
At the work session the board moved and approved the consent agenda, which included the retirement of cafeteria employee Ronnie Dean effective May 29, 2026, and two resignations: a high-school custodian effective Jan. 20, 2026, and an administrative assistant/bookkeeper effective March 3, 2026.
A board member moved the consent agenda and a roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes from the named board members; the motion carried. The chair praised Ronnie Dean as "a foundation in this district" and wished her well in retirement.
Board members also reviewed an updated bus-driver listing and discussed vehicle upgrades for buses 2 and 10. One board member described meeting with Clint Owlette about speeding up license paperwork so new hires can be cleared more quickly; that member asked whether drivers who work in neighboring districts could cover Troy runs when shortages occur. Superintendent Brad said the district already has at least one driver who works in Canton for some school-time duties and covers extracurriculars here.
Community-relations items included a $300 donation from Fassett Baptist Church to support unaccompanied (homeless) youth. Board members identified the McKinney-Vento coordinator process and district social worker Kathy Morris as responsible for distributing that donation.
Why it matters: personnel changes and transportation staffing affect daily operations; the board's approval of retirements and resignations finalizes staffing changes, while ongoing discussion about driver recruitment and cross-district coverage signals a continuing operational priority for the district.
