Board approves personnel adjustments and moves forward on superintendent search advertising
Summary
The board approved personnel items with some agenda pulls and directed staff to expand advertising for the superintendent search; members said ad costs are likely under earlier estimates and will be covered by the district's budget plan.
The Randolph County Schools Board approved a slate of personnel actions with adjustments and confirmed plans to widen advertising for the ongoing superintendent search.
During the personnel portion the board instructed staff to pull one item (Megan Croston) and to change employments for others (examples: Melissa May Haynes and Kimberly Arbogast reassigned to specified positions). Board counsel had approved the agenda adjustments following a post-publication pull. Several speakers explained classification rules for e-cat positions and aids, noting dual certification, seniority rules and differing certification requirements (for example, autism-mentor and behavior-aid training can affect pay and classification).
Separately, the board reviewed advertising options and a proposed contract to engage Dr. O'Toole’s team at the West Virginia State Board of Education to assist with the superintendent search. Staff said the expected advertising and consultant costs would be below earlier estimates and could be covered in current budget plans; the board approved the advertising and related section items by voice vote.
Administrators said they will post the corrected agenda items, proceed with recruitment advertising, and keep the board updated on candidate flow and timelines.
