Tri Valley board approves multiple personnel hires, names Jeff Reulich assistant superintendent
Summary
The Tri Valley Board approved a slate of personnel actions Feb. 12, including coaching and extracurricular appointments, a leave of absence, a per-diem substitute approval (8–1 vote), tenure for a school psychologist effective Feb. 23, and the appointment of Jeff Reulich as assistant superintendent of business and finance at a prorated $178,500.
The Tri Valley Board of Education voted Feb. 12 to approve a broad set of personnel recommendations from the superintendent, including coaching and extracurricular appointments, a leave of absence, substitute and aide hires, a tenure appointment and a senior administrative hire.
Highlights: The consent agenda (with personnel item 13 pulled for separate consideration) was carried; the board approved Riley Kelly as a per‑diem substitute aide/teacher assistant/teacher by recorded hand vote of 8 yeas and 1 abstain. Trustees approved several coaching appointments and extracurricular roles (varsity and modified coaches, scorekeepers, pit band assignments); the superintendent confirmed that coaches are certified, CPR‑current and fingerprinted as required.
Tenure and senior hires: By resolution citing Section 30‑13 of the Education Law and Board of Regents rules, the board granted tenure to Andrea McGregor (school psychologist) effective Feb. 23, 2026. The board also approved the appointment of Jeff Reulich to the assistant superintendent of business and finance position pending fingerprint clearance; the resolution sets a prorated salary of $178,500 for the 2025–26 school year and lists a start date tied to fingerprint clearance (March 23, 2026). The superintendent said Mr. Reulich will be formally introduced at the Feb. 26 meeting.
Why it matters: The approvals affect classroom coverage, extracurricular programs and district leadership. Board members asked about certification, fingerprinting and insurance coverage for outside program participants during the discussion; the superintendent said staff would follow up and produce required documents.
What to watch: The board asked administration to provide copies of any outside-insurance policies that name the district as a coinsured before outside participants use district facilities on Sundays. Several coach and staff appointments were approved without dissent; the single recorded abstention on the Riley Kelly appointment was noted in the minutes.
