Board accepts resignation, approves new high school math hire and posts extra elementary position
Summary
The board accepted a resignation from long-time kitchen staffer Jane Johnson, approved hiring Seth Schmidt as the high school math teacher for next year, and authorized posting for an additional elementary teacher to address next year’s expanded second-grade sections.
The Mineral Point Unified School District board approved several personnel actions during its April meeting.
The board accepted the resignation of Jane Johnson from her part-time kitchen position. Board members thanked Johnson for years of service and discussed whether the vacancy should be restructured to support expanded food-service offerings.
The board also approved the hiring of Seth Schmidt for the high school math position. S4 described a thorough interview process and noted Schmidt had completed internships in both middle and high school classrooms; trustees praised the internship pipeline as a successful retention strategy. "Seth is a great fit for Mineral Point and great fit for the classes we would be looking to have covered," S4 said.
Finally, the board unanimously approved posting for an additional elementary teacher (a one-year linear position tied to an expanded second-grade section next year) to help maintain smaller class sizes; the posting will be flexible as grade-level assignments could change with internal movement.
Votes: motions to accept the resignation, to hire Schmidt, and to post the elementary position were each moved, seconded and approved by roll call in the transcript.
Next steps: administration will post the vacancy and proceed with hiring procedures, and personnel/finance committees will continue planning around staffing and budget impacts.
