Chagrin Falls principals introduce dozens of new teachers and support staff ahead of school year
Summary
Administrators introduced new hires across the district: high school choir and substitute teachers, intermediate school teachers and a school psychologist, and multiple new hires at Gurney Elementary, plus new specialized aides and a bus driver in training.
Superintendent (speaker 3) and school principals used the regular board meeting to introduce newly hired staff for the coming school year across Chagrin Falls Exempted Village.
Amanda Rossi (speaker 4), high school principal, announced six additions including Nate Petrovsky as part‑time choir teacher and Emily Morgan as a building substitute; Rossi noted Petrovsky’s prior district experience and Morgan’s international teaching background. Curtis Howell (speaker 5), principal at Chagrin Falls Intermediate School, introduced Ella Gardner (5th grade language arts), Megan Campbell (4th grade), and Lisa Jackson (school psychologist). Rachel Jones (speaker 6), principal at Gurney Elementary, introduced a larger cohort of 11 new hires covering classroom teachers, intervention specialists and building substitutes.
Transportation supervisor Mike Morgan (speaker 7) introduced Greg Dixon as a bus driver in training, noting Dixon’s prior leadership experience in the private sector and local residency. Administrators encouraged community members to refer candidates for open positions (substitute teachers, aides, bus drivers) and said application details are posted on the district website.
Principals highlighted credentials and prior experience for each new hire during introductions. The board paused briefly for a meet‑and‑greet with the new staff before resuming the meeting.
