Board approves personnel changes, reschedules expulsion hearing and authorizes executive session
Summary
The board approved multiple superintendent personnel recommendations including resignations and appointments, agreed to move an expulsion hearing to April 22, and voted to enter executive session to discuss employment and discipline matters.
The Elyria City School Board on April 1 approved superintendent personnel recommendations including resignations, retirements and appointments, and scheduled an expulsion hearing for April 22.
Superintendent Anne Slush reviewed personnel action items that the board moved and seconded. The board approved resignations and retirements, accepted athletic supplemental contracts and approved appointments including naming Adam Barren to take over as orchestra director following Greg Smith’s resignation. The motions were approved by roll call with all voting members recorded as in favor.
Board members discussed scheduling for an expulsion hearing originally set for April 15; after confirming notification timelines and member availability, they agreed to reschedule both the expulsion hearing and the regular board meeting to April 22, with the secretary/treasurer or staff to resend updated notifications.
Finally, the board voted to enter an executive session for the purpose of considering the employment, dismissal, discipline, demotion, or compensation of a public employee or official. Roll-call votes were recorded and the motion carried; board members said no formal action was taken in public at that time.
The personnel approvals on the public record included the resignation of orchestra director Greg Smith and the appointment of assistant director Adam Barren to take over the role; additional hires, recalls from reduction in force, unpaid leaves and substitute appointments were also approved as listed in the superintendent’s materials.
