District honors long‑time staff, recommends Jamie Brown for high‑school principal
Summary
Board members and district staff recognized recent and upcoming retirements — including Diane Mangold, Evelyn Swift and Barbara Doyle — and the agenda includes a recommendation to appoint Jamie Brown as high‑school principal.
District presenters opened the meeting with tributes to longtime staff and a recommendation to fill an upcoming leadership vacancy.
The presenter announced the death of Diane Mangold, described as a longtime and devoted staff member with about 40 years of service to the district’s regional day school, and asked for a moment of silence. The presenter also recognized retirements that appear on the agenda, naming Evelyn Swift, principal of Whiting Elementary School, who will retire after about 26 years, and Barbara Doyle, who was described as completing roughly 46 years of service to Whiting School.
The presenter also praised paraprofessional Elizabeth Hackett for her service and said the board would see a recommendation on the agenda to appoint Jamie Brown as the high‑school principal and leader of the 'Hawks Nest.' The presenter encouraged the community to attend upcoming school events, including the middle‑school production of Frozen and the high school’s 50th‑anniversary celebration.
No formal vote on the principal recommendation is recorded in the transcript excerpt provided; the remarks served as agenda introductions and recognitions before business moved to consent items.
