Oconto Falls board creates dean of students post at Abrams, approves hires and contracts
Summary
The board approved a new dean of students position at Abrams Elementary for the 2026–27 school year, ratified several staff contracts and accepted resignations and retirements.
The Oconto Falls Public School District board on April 15 approved a new "dean of students" position at Abrams Elementary beginning in the 2026–27 school year and ratified multiple contract actions.
Administrators said the new teacher‑contract position is intended to support discipline, attendance and in‑building leadership, and to serve as a designee when the principal is out. Staff described it as a teacher contract (not an administrator contract) for this school year and said the district will continue to refine the role’s scope, candidate traits and reporting structure.
The board discussed human-resources capacity and agreed staff will work with outside support (CISA) to clarify responsibilities and impacts on other functions. After discussion, the board voted to approve the position and instructed staff to include it in 2026–27 staffing plans.
Separately, the board approved contracts for two third‑grade hires (Danielle Compton and Cassie Rolfers) and an internal shift for Karen Engram to an ELA role at Oconto Falls Middle School. The board also accepted a resignation from a secondary teacher (Tori Coonsie) and several support‑staff retirements; those personnel actions were approved as presented.
Why it matters: The dean of students post signals a district investment in building‑level student supports and discipline structures and will change staffing allocations at Abrams. Contract approvals fill certified positions ahead of the next school year.
