Newport board approves leaves, hires and two student expulsions
Summary
The board approved combined personnel items including child‑rearing and FMLA requests, accepted a middle‑school social studies resignation effective Jan. 5, 2026, authorized hiring, and approved two student expulsions through May 28, 2026; all motions passed 6–0 with three absences.
The Newport Board of School Directors on Dec. 4 approved multiple personnel actions and accepted a teacher resignation, while also voting to expel two students for the remainder of the 2025–2026 school year.
Pat Dorman moved to combine and approve personnel items that included requests for child‑rearing leave (employee #1385, employee #1230), Family and Medical Leave (employee #217), and intermittent FMLA (employee #1360). The board accepted the resignation of Middle School Social Studies teacher Adam Miron, effective Jan. 5, 2026, and authorized administration to advertise and interview for that position. The combined personnel motion carried by roll call vote, 6–0, with three members absent.
On student discipline, Daniel Barlup moved to approve the administration’s recommendation to expel Student ID#31079 and Student ID#30032 through the remainder of the 2025–2026 school year (Nov. 10, 2025–May 28, 2026). The board approved the expulsions 6–0 with three absences. The expulsions reflect the administration’s recommendations as presented at the meeting; the minutes record the board action but do not include additional factual detail beyond the students’ ID numbers and effective dates.
The board’s personnel and discipline votes were recorded by roll call; absent members were Larry Davis, Thomas Hartley and Timothy Matoushek. Administration will proceed with advertising the middle‑school social studies vacancy and the personnel actions take effect as noted in the motions.
