Brooke County Schools board approves consent agenda, personnel postings and travel requests
Summary
The Brooke County Schools board unanimously approved a package of consent items including personnel postings, field trips and conference travel and approved an agreement with American Fireworks; personnel names and hires were read into the record and motions carried without recorded roll call counts.
The Brooke County Schools board voted unanimously to approve a package of consent agenda items, personnel postings and travel requests during its regular meeting.
The board approved a series of items the chair presented as a grouped motion, including routine personnel changes, third‑grade travel to the Vienna Theater of Pittsburgh and staff attendance at a teaching and technology conference in Fairmont. The board also approved an agreement with American Fireworks that was included in the meeting attachment. Several items under the director of special education were moved together and approved without opposition.
Superintendent spoke at the meeting to recognize student athletes and coaches across multiple sports and to read personnel updates into the record. The superintendent named several hires and leaves: an early childhood assistant teacher posting for Morgan McConnaughy, a special‑education leave beginning Jan. 20 for Catherine Furioli, and the addition of special‑education teacher Roberta Alvarez. The chair called for the voice vote on those personnel items; the board responded “Aye.”
Board members discussed recruitment for hard‑to‑fill certified positions and coaching vacancies, noting outreach efforts such as posting openings on the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC) site and the option of alternate certification for prospective teachers. The superintendent said the district has some staff interested in pursuing alternative certifications to fill vacancies.
The board offered congratulations to the students and coaches recognized during the meeting. With no further questions, the chair closed the consent portion and moved the meeting to other business.
