Loading...
Summary
The board approved multiple certified and noncertified hires for 2026–27, several staff transfers, a position change, and the termination of a full‑time custodian (effective 04/09/2026). Human resources also reported resignations and retirements with listed effective dates.
Trustees approved a slate of personnel actions brought forward by the human resources office, including certified and noncertified hires, transfers, a position reclassification and a termination.
Dr. Gresham presented certified hires (Allison Gansman, English teacher at Castle North Middle School; Elizabeth Bailey, science teacher at Castle South Middle School for the 2026–27 year) and several noncertified appointments. "Motion to approve certified and non certified staff," a board member moved, and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board also voted to terminate Tara Ashley, a full‑time custodian at Oakdale Elementary, effective 04/09/2026, after a motion and second. Resignations and retirements were reported later in the personnel section (examples: Megan Crawford, choir/music teacher, resignation effective 03/31/2026; Angela Cluck, business teacher, retirement effective 05/21/2026; John Bertram, principal, retirement effective 06/05/2026). The human resources report also listed several early returns from leave and other staff moves approved by the board.
On special education staffing, Dr. Gresham explained reassignments were driven by changes in LD (learning disabled) student numbers and described staffing as "a puzzle sometimes," noting voluntary transfers and creation of an ABS classroom at Logue as reasons for several moves. He said five special education positions had been posted and would be filled after interviews.
What happens next: administrators will proceed with onboarding for approved hires and continue recruitment for posted special education vacancies; no additional conditions or reporting requirements were specified in the meeting minutes.
