Rossville board approves personnel moves, summer childcare option and scholarship awards
Summary
The Rossville Con School District board approved multiple resignations and coaching and substitute appointments, added a part-time summer childcare option at $115 per week, and authorized scholarships from local trusts for the Class of 2026; votes were unanimous as recorded, with no individual tallies specified.
The Rossville Con School District board met in regular session and approved a slate of personnel actions, program changes and scholarship awards.
Board members voted to accept several resignations, including Chloe Weaver, the Rossville Middle/Senior High School art teacher, and Sarah Hall, the district's homebound teacher effective Feb. 6. The transcript also records a resignation from the girls varsity and junior varsity tennis coach (listed in the transcript as "Judy [last name unclear]") and a resignation by Michelle Scaly for a two‑week leave coverage role that had not yet begun.
The board approved appointments and recommendations presented by district staff. The transcript records a recommendation to appoint Megan Brett as a homebound instructor at Rossville Middle/Senior High School beginning Feb. 9 (Mondays and Wednesdays, one hour per day) with a retroactive approval; the compensation is listed in the transcript as "3424 per hour" (transcription unclear). William Robbins was recommended as a district substitute, and the board approved extended‑school‑year services for an individual student for up to three hours per week from June 1 through July 31, 2026 to meet IEP requirements.
A number of coaching and extracurricular assignments were approved, including head and assistant coaches in girls tennis, softball, baseball, junior high positions and boys golf, and several volunteer assistant roles. The board moved and seconded the personnel approvals; after no discussion the motions carried (specific mover/second and individual vote tallies were not provided in the transcript).
The board also approved a change to the district's summer school childcare program to add a three‑day‑per‑week part‑time option at $115 per week to respond to parental needs. Separately, the district recommended scholarships to members of the Class of 2026: six awards of $500 and six awards of $1,000 from the Lula D. V. Davis and Ever Davis trusts. The scholarship committee will select recipients and the awards will be presented at a May program.
Finally, the board approved disposal of surplus equipment in accordance with Indiana law and then adjourned the meeting. All recorded motions (minutes/claims/payroll; personnel; policies; miscellaneous items; adjournment) were moved, seconded and carried; the transcript does not include individual member vote tallies or named movers/seconders.
