Summary

Trustees voted to nonrenew a one-hour certified PE contract that had been filled by a current paraprofessional; board members emphasized the move is not disciplinary and the employee will remain full-time in his para role next year.

The board approved a motion to nonrenew a one-hour certified physical-education contract held this year by Cody Brodsky while confirming Brodsky will remain employed full time in his paraeducator role.

Board discussion clarified the nonrenewal was administrative, not disciplinary: as the district no longer needs the extra one-hour PE section, the certified hour will not be renewed, but Brodsky will continue in his full-time para position next year. A board member said, "It's not anything about performance... it's just a matter of we don't need that one extra hour of PE." The motion to approve the nonrenewal carried on roll call.

Why it matters: the action adjusts staffing allocation for the coming year; the board emphasized the move does not reflect performance concerns and that the employee remains part of the district staff.

The board did not take further personnel action during the public portion of the meeting; the item was added to the agenda and approved with a formal roll-call vote.
