Board records personnel additions and discusses bus operator recruitment
Summary
The board approved personnel actions including two assistant coaches and an early childhood assistant, accepted a speech-language pathologist resignation effective immediately, and discussed hiring additional bus operators to address upcoming retirements and reduce overtime.
The Brooke County Schools board recorded multiple personnel items and discussed transportation staffing during its regular meeting.
The board read and approved personnel actions that included the appointment of Connor Govey as assistant boys (sic) soccer coach (posting P1740), David Wilkinson as assistant boys basketball coach (P1747), Rachel Hawthorne as an early childhood classroom assistant (Service S1444), and accepted the immediate resignation of a speech-language pathologist identified as Maddie. The names and postings were read into the record by the board clerk.
A board member asked whether newly posted bus operator positions were new roles or conversions of substitute positions into permanent posts. Administration said some candidates were recent graduates of driver training and that hiring now could fill anticipated vacancies from retirements and reduce overtime costs. The administration noted that hiring itinerant drivers who can fill multiple routes could reduce reliance on mechanics or long-term substitutes driving when shortages occur.
The motions to include and approve the personnel items were carried by unanimous voice vote. Board members also acknowledged recent athletic and academic honors and confirmed the next scheduled meeting date.
The personnel motions and the transportation staffing plan were recorded in the meeting minutes and will proceed under normal personnel processes.
