Superintendent presents personnel updates, adds BCBAs and student opportunities
Summary
The superintendent presented personnel recommendations including resignations and an extension of an interim assistant-principal assignment, proposed using restricted funds to add two board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs), and highlighted student programs including a PSA contest and upcoming holiday events.
During the Superintendent’s report, the superintendent presented multiple personnel recommendations and program updates and asked the board to approve routine personnel actions.
The superintendent listed a series of personnel recommendations: accepting a staff resignation, approving a retirement, and extending an interim administrative assignment for Jamie Haynor with a request to obtain a one‑year alternative principal’s license to cover grades 5–8. "Jamie’s doing a great job at the middle school as an interim assistant principal," the Superintendent said when explaining the extension and license request.
The superintendent described use of restricted state funds — disadvantaged-pupil-impact and student-wellness-and-success funds — to support student wraparound services, specifically by funding the district psychologist and adding two board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs). The superintendent noted these are not new funds but restricted state allocations being re-deployed to enhance supports. When asked whether the BCBAs would be county employees, the Superintendent answered yes and said the costs would appear in purchase-services.
Other personnel items included approval of non-athletic and athletic supplemental contracts, stipends for staff participating in Friday study or detention monitoring, and approval of a "linked up connect" stipend to support student apprenticeships and internships through a Hamilton County-funded program. The Superintendent said Hamilton County is providing funds for the linked-up platform.
The report also included routine approvals for an overnight middle-school Model UN trip and other field trips, and a recommendation for an unpaid FMLA leave. The board approved the superintendent’s report and personnel recommendations by roll call.
The superintendent closed with updates on nutrition services (Milford Food Services) including new sugar and smart‑snack constraints and plans to coordinate meals with primary facilities planning, an update on a special-education audit with a report expected in December followed by a county–district meeting after winter break, and recognition of student Cole Rensberger’s suicide-awareness PSA that is in a public voting contest through late January with the winner to have a PSA played during the Super Bowl.
The board approved the superintendent’s recommendations and asked staff to monitor implementation of the added student supports; the superintendent and treasurer will return with further operational details as required.
