Board approves hires, accepts resignations and grants leaves of absence
Loading...
Summary
The board approved two recommended hires (Amy West and Nick Hall), accepted the resignation of Shannon Bishop, and granted two one‑year leaves of absence (Katie Kuprinski and Liz Donald); several votes recorded at least one abstention.
Under personnel, the board considered staffing recommendations and motions. The administration recommended hiring Amy West (to replace a retiring teacher, Jean Bjork) and Nick Hall (to replace a retiring physical‑education teacher, Mike Basile). A motion to approve those hires was made and seconded; the transcript shows the motion carried with one board member recorded as abstaining.
The board accepted the resignation of Shannon Bishop, a 5K teacher at Pewaukee Lake Elementary, by motion and second. The motion was recorded as carried with an abstention noted in the transcript.
Two one‑year leaves of absence were presented for Katie Kuprinski (special‑education teacher at Pewaukee Lake Elementary) and Liz Donald. Administration said principals supported the requests and explained that a limited‑term replacement would be hired for each leave; during the leave the employees would not receive compensation or benefits and would have an early‑spring deadline to commit to return. A motion to approve both leaves carried with an abstention recorded.
These personnel actions were moved and seconded on the board floor; motions passed as reflected in the meeting record and are reflected in the April 13 minutes. Replacement hiring and limited‑term contracts will proceed according to administration timelines.
