Board accepts lacrosse coach's resignation and approves extracurricular and instructional appointments
Summary
The Spring Grove Area SD board accepted the resignation of head lacrosse coach Shay Stremel, approved extracurricular positions for the 2025—26 school year, voted separately to approve game-manager/interscholastic personnel, and approved Caitlin Wessler as an extended school year instructor; one board member, Ritz, recorded a dissent on the larger personnel package.
The Spring Grove Area SD board on Sept. 22 listed and advanced several personnel items, including acceptance of the resignation of Shay Stremel as head lacrosse coach and approvals for extracurricular positions for the 2025—26 school year.
Administration presented items a through d under personnel: acceptance of the resignation, approval of extracurricular appointments, separate approval of game-manager/interscholastic personnel, and approval of an extended-school-year instructor, and the board took a separate roll-call on the game-manager item. The transcript records that the separate vote on the game-manager/interscholastic personnel carried on the roll call called for item c.
Board members engaged administration about whether multiple extracurricular stipends could be consolidated or converted to hourly (blue-card) positions. One committee member said, "Me me personally, I think this whole thing just needs a 100% reevaluated," urging a full review of positions, hours and oversight. Administration responded that the personnel committee had conducted a multi-option review last year, produced a detailed spreadsheet and matrix, and implemented a compromise option; staff said they would re-circulate the supporting survey and matrix to the board and recommended continuing review through the personnel committee.
When the board held a roll-call vote on the personnel package (everything except the separately voted item c), the motion carried; the transcript records a single recorded dissent from board member Ritz. The meeting record does not show the exact final tally for every named seat in a consolidated table; the transcript captures votes in sequence during roll call.
The personnel items approved included an extended-school-year instructor appointment for Caitlin Wessler and listed extracurricular appointments for the upcoming school year; the board also registered and processed the resignation of Shay Stremel, head lacrosse coach.
The board adjourned the action portion of the meeting after the votes and moved to the director's study forum.
The board directed administration to make the personnel committee materials available to the full board for further review and to pursue a phase-two look at hours and possible consolidation of positions if warranted.
