Pendleton County board accepts resignations, approves hires and a job‑sharing agreement

The Pendleton County Schools Board approved multiple personnel items, including two resignations, a retirement rescission, several hires and an extracurricular job‑sharing agreement.

The superintendent recommended accepting resignations submitted by two employees identified in the transcript as Lydia and Leanne; the board approved the recommendation by voice vote. The superintendent also presented a request from Nancy Barkley to rescind a previously announced retirement date; the board approved that rescission after the superintendent recommended it.

The board approved employment recommendations for several positions, including Hillary Fox (listed for a secretary/accounting role at the district Middle‑High School), Lyn Warner (bus driver), Javin Kirky (extracurricular assistant football coach), Paula Coffman (substitute teacher) and April Dew (substitute nurse). The superintendent presented the hires and recommended approval; the board approved them by voice vote.

The board also approved an extracurricular job‑sharing agreement for the vo‑tech run between West Flesher and David Simon. The superintendent said the signed agreement lays out days and duties and that, if a shared employee cannot continue, full assignment would revert to West Flesher; the board approved the agreement by voice vote.

Other personnel business approved by the board included permission to close an LPN aide position and a half‑time itinerant special education teacher position at FES, and permission to post for an RN, a media‑specialist extracurricular contract, and a half‑time itinerant aide with autism mentor/CPI certification.

All personnel motions passed on voice votes; individual roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
