Board grants tenure to four recommended teachers
Summary
The J Creek School Board approved tenure for four recommended teachers—Amanda Coats, Colin McFersonson, Jill (or Gill) Bland and Sandy Thompson—after administrators noted one earlier listed candidate had already been tenured in 2023.
The J Creek School Board approved tenure for four teachers recommended by the administration during Thursday’s meeting.
Administrators presented the list and noted an earlier reporting error: Britney Bennett had already received tenure in 2023 and was removed from this year’s list. The board approved tenure recommendations for Amanda Coats, Colin McFersonson, Jill/Gill Bland and Sandy Thompson by voice vote.
Administrators praised the candidates’ classroom work: Coats was described as a veteran in health‑science instruction, McFersonson as a wellness teacher who also coaches baseball, and Bland and Thompson as strong classroom teachers with prior experience in other district schools. The board’s action was presented as routine personnel business at the end of the meeting.
The motion carried by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
