Mayfield Middle School introduces new teachers and intervention specialist
Summary
Principal Jackie McLachlan introduced new hires for Mayfield Middle School and Gatesville Elementary, listing their roles and qualifications and noting that several candidates were present at the meeting.
Principal Jackie McLachlan introduced four new hires for Mayfield Middle School and one new teacher for Gatesville Elementary. She named Zack Lasso as the new eighth‑grade intervention specialist; Madison Milligan and Gabrielle Taylor as sixth‑grade ELA teachers; and Lexie Simmerson for the MAC unit. Tiana Vasquez was introduced as a new third‑grade teacher at Gatesville.
McLachlan described candidates’ qualifications and references. On Madison Milligan, McLachlan recalled that Milligan “pulled out a binder and was so excited to show us something and shared student data. And I was like, ‘whoever gets that excited about student data is my kind of person,’” praising the candidate’s preparation. The director of human resources said the district began interviewing candidates in December and had formed a candidate pool; five of eight candidates were present at the meeting.
Why it matters: staffing decisions affect classroom capacity and program continuity; the board publicly introduced hires so families and staff could meet them and the board could confirm personnel actions.
Next steps: introductions were followed by the meeting’s routine approvals and consent items later in the agenda.
