The Plymouth Joint School District Board of Education accepted the resignation of Karen Johnson, the district's food-service director, effective Oct. 11, 2024. Board members thanked Johnson for more than 11 years of service; a board member moved acceptance and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
On policy, Janelle reviewed first-reading updates from the Neola policy volume 33 package that the district's administrators had reviewed with a Neola representative. The updates include an insertion on board meeting closed-session virtual-attendance procedure, an update to class-rank language (policy 50430) to align with UW system ranking expectations, clarification that a half-credit in personal finance will satisfy new graduation guidance, and a new section (5610.03) clarifying pre-expulsion conferences and related steps. The board approved the first reading by voice vote.
The board also approved a change to the teacher framework to add HOSA to Schedule C with a payment of $7.50, and accepted several donations: $671.76 from the Plymouth High School German Club (for transportation to Chicago), $119.86 from Parkview PTK (transportation to Otter Moon Farm), and $2,500.18 from the Riverview Activity Club (transportation to Kohler Andree State Park, Bay Beach and Fireman's Park).
What happens next: The district will post the Neola policy updates for formal comment/next steps as required for first-reading policies and will begin the administrative steps needed to replace the food-service director position.
