Summary
The board approved non‑renewal lists for certified and non‑certified staff effective May 31, accepted resignations, approved transfers and employments, and read a list of retirements in items A–L.
The Jackson County Board of Education approved a series of personnel actions, including non‑renewals, resignations, transfers, employments and retirements during its regular meeting.
Board members voted to non‑renew certified staff listed under the agenda item effective May 31 and separately approved the non‑renewal of non‑certified personnel effective May 31, 2026. The board also accepted resignations listed in items A and B and approved transfers for individuals in items A–D. Employments for items A–C, including hires for summer school, were approved as a grouped motion.
During discussion about summer school logistics, board member Mr. Davison clarified that summer school listed for Stevenson Elementary will instead be held at Stevenson Middle School because of a lunchroom maintenance project at the elementary campus.
The board read aloud and accepted retirements for multiple employees, thanking them for service. Named retirees included Jessie Williams (custodian, Stevenson Middle School); Kathy Dean (CNP manager, Macedonia School); Marsha Batie (teacher, Pisgah High School); Christy Carson (teacher, Section High School); Mona Hawk (CNP worker, North Sand Mountain School); Emily Smith (teacher, Pisgah High School); Tisha Griffith (teacher, Rosalie School); Sherry Evans (bus driver, Skyline High School); Carol Jones (school secretary, Stevenson Elementary); Simone Wilburn (teacher, Rosalie); Trina Henegar (teacher, Rosalie); and Steve Herron (principal, Bryant). The board accepted retirements in items A–L by motion and voice vote.
The meeting record does not provide roll‑call vote counts for these personnel items; each was recorded as carried by voice vote. Specific reasons for individual non‑renewals were not stated in the public meeting minutes read at the time.
