Millard board hires assistant superintendent, approves facilities contracts and policy updates
Summary
The Millard Public Schools Board approved hiring Dr. Heidi Pinky as assistant superintendent of human resources and unanimously approved several facilities contracts (Aldrich Elementary $224,718; North High rooftop $335,501; North Middle flooring $22,305), adopted rule 2100.24 and reaffirmed policy 5,200.
The Millard Public Schools Board on a unanimous roll call vote approved the hiring of Dr. Heidi Pinky as assistant superintendent of human resources and moved forward on multiple facilities contracts and policy actions.
Board members moved to approve the personnel appointment for Dr. Heidi Pinky; the motion passed after brief congratulatory remarks from trustees. One board member said, "Congratulations to Heidi," and the board completed a roll-call vote approving the hire.
Why it matters: The hire fills a district-level HR leadership role and comes amid other personnel actions the board approved, including a slate of midyear hires and a voluntary separation program. Trustees said the district sought a strong candidate pool and praised human resources for recruitment work.
The board also approved three construction and maintenance contracts: Christofferson Mechanical was awarded the Aldrich Elementary fan-powered box replacement in the amount of $224,718; Ayman Plumbing received the North High School rooftop unit replacement contract for $335,501; and Workspace Flooring was awarded the North Middle School cafeteria flooring replacement for $22,305. Administration noted the Aldrich contract required extra background checks because the vendor is new to the district and described bid alternates for the rooftop job that cover potential electrical-conductor and control updates.
Board members discussed the asbestos-abatement steps tied to the flooring project, with project staff describing containment, negative-air filtration, wipe testing and adherence to EPA/AHERA guidance. Staff said most of the building will be unavailable while the abatement is in progress and that they will run air and wipe tests before returning spaces to use.
The board adopted rule 2100.24 to create an assistant director of special education by reallocating duties among existing positions and reaffirmed policy 5,200 on student services and attendance; the board also approved the high-school and middle-school handbooks as part of a consent slate (items 3–8). Trustees noted these are organizational updates intended to strengthen special-education leadership and formalize attendance procedures.
The meeting record shows roll-call approval for each motion. Next steps: staff will execute vendor contracts and proceed with scheduled project work; the HR office will finalize onboarding for the new assistant superintendent.
