Amery board approves personnel changes previously discussed in closed session
Summary
Following the loan application vote, the Amery School District board approved multiple personnel actions — including new contracts, resignations, a termination, retirements and several non-renewals — as presented from closed session; motions passed by voice vote.
After taking the loan application vote, the Amery School District board approved a slate of personnel actions that had been discussed in closed session.
The board authorized new employment contracts (including Teresa Haynes as a long-term 4K substitute and Shane Salisbury as a special-education paraprofessional), accepted multiple resignations (including custodian Ryan Folstead and teachers Wendy Merrick, Samantha Matzik and Jordan Morfit), processed a termination (Olivia Hanson — custodial) and recorded a retirement (Sherry Lee) and several non-renewals (Rachel Baker, Travis Bowman Meister, Lawrence Daulton, Madison Haynes, Olivia Patterson and Riley Walls). The items were approved "as presented" by voice vote after the chair asked for a motion to accept personnel changes previously discussed in closed session.
The board did not read personnel details into open session beyond naming positions and individuals; the motion approving personnel action passed by voice vote and the chair stated the motion passed. The board then moved to adjourn.
Why it matters: personnel changes affect classroom staffing and support services across the district as it adjusts its budget; the earlier loan discussion and planned budget reductions were presented as part of the district's broader strategy to manage multi-year funding shortfalls.
