Board approves consent agenda, several hires and a Wednesday school closure for state tournament
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the consent agenda and multiple hires, and voted 3–1 to close schools Wednesday so students could attend the state girls basketball game; motions and outcomes were recorded in the minutes.
The Rock Ridge School Board recorded several formal votes at its March 9 meeting.
Consent agenda and hires: The board approved the consent agenda unanimously and approved the hiring of two paraprofessionals (including Nell Rewertz) that were brought forward individually because the hires predated the district hiring freeze. The board also approved the hire of Tim Wysak effective March 11 after motion and second.
School closure for state tournament: On a motion to close schools Wednesday so students could attend the state girls basketball first game (first game at 2:00 p.m.), trustees debated staff coverage and substitute availability. After discussion the board approved closing school on Wednesday by a 3–1 vote; one member opposed citing the need for the instructional day and staffing concerns.
Contracts and work agreements: The board later approved a package of individual work agreements (item 7.1) and approved a two‑year contract for Willie Speltz (item 7.2) after debate about grant funding and budget uncertainty.
The board also approved the charter report as presented. The meeting adjourned following announcements about the next regular meeting (March 23) and a 5:00 p.m. working session.
