Board approves personnel changes, hires, coach stipends and athletic-trainer renewal
Summary
The Springs Valley Com School Corp board approved a superintendent leave-day correction, accepted several resignations, approved multiple 2026–27 hires and stipends, renewed athletic trainer Megan McGregor's contract, and accepted donations totaling several thousand dollars.
The Springs Valley Com School Corp board unanimously approved personnel actions, coach stipends and the renewal of the district athletic trainer’s contract during its May meeting.
Board action first clarified a superintendent contract addendum: the leave days figure was corrected from 23 days to 20. "Clarification is that we originally approved 23 days but it was supposed to be 20," a board member said; the correction was accepted and the motion passed 7-0.
The board accepted resignations from staff including Stephanie Herrera (elementary teacher), volunteer and coaching resignations, and approved a slate of hires for the 2026–27 school year: multiple elementary teachers (Angie Evot, Kennedy Lan, Tracy Maringer), a special-education hire (Katie Stra), summer-school instructors and appointed coaches with stated salary/stipend levels (for example, Kim Eerty as girls varsity basketball coach at $6,500; Lorie Harris assistant varsity track at $1,450). The transcript lists specific salary/ hourly/stipend amounts for many hires; where precise title-to-pay mapping was given the board recorded the figures for the record.
The board also renewed the athletic trainer contract for Megan McGregor for the 2026–27 school year at $29.50 per hour, approving the renewal by voice vote 7-0.
On donations, the board accepted multiple gifts to athletics, drama and elementary programs, including a $4,676 donation from the Harris Family Charity Fund to athletics and an reported $5,000 donation from Patrick Matthews to the Chuck Acres Fund; the board noted the month’s donations totaled nearly $16,000. The motion to accept donations passed 7-0.
The board’s approvals were procedural and recorded with the vote tally of 7-0 on consent-related personnel motions, contract renewal and donations.
