Lakewood City board approves personnel slate, teacher MOU and two senior hires
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved multiple personnel actions including certified and classified hires and resignations, ratified a negotiated memorandum of understanding with the teachers' association, and approved employment of Mr. O as assistant superintendent and a director of operations (candidate name not fully transcripted).
At its April 13 meeting the Lakewood City School District Board of Education approved a slate of personnel actions and two administrative hires.
The board approved 10 certified personnel actions, including one administrator contract and several retirements and resignations. It then approved eight classified personnel actions and one classified non-employee personnel action. Each personnel motion was moved, seconded and passed by roll call, with all five board members recorded as voting in the affirmative.
The board also voted to ratify a negotiated memorandum of understanding with the Lakewood Teachers Association; that motion passed on roll call.
In one-reading motions the board approved the employment of an assistant superintendent identified in the transcript as "Mr. O" and approved the employment of the district's new director of operations (the director spoke at the meeting but the transcript did not include a full, clear surname). Each hiring motion passed on a roll call vote with unanimous 'I' votes from the five trustees.
During the discussion the new assistant superintendent thanked board members and district staff and described his commitment to the role. The director of operations outlined planned summer facility projects, including playground renovations, parking-lot improvements, pool-system work, and removal of portable/modular units at Taft to expand parking and renovate the site. The administration said vacancies and retirements will be posted to recruit replacements promptly.
Votes recorded in the transcript show all motions for personnel actions, the MOU, and the two appointments carried unanimously; the transcript records roll-call votes with five affirmative responses (Mrs. Shaughnessy, Mrs. Dottman, Mrs. Clark Sutton, Mr. Callahan, Miss Katenberger).
