Board approves Michael Gelme as assistant superintendent for human resources
Summary
The board approved the appointment of Michael Gelme as assistant superintendent for human resources, with Gelme to retain some central elementary principal duties in a roughly 40/60 split in year one, according to administration.
The Grandville Board of Education approved the appointment of Michael Gelme as assistant superintendent for human resources, with Gelme continuing in a central elementary principal role part-time during transition.
Administration described Gelme's experience, including work as an elementary principal and recent involvement in contract negotiations, and said the combined assignment will yield near-term staffing savings because the district will not immediately replace the central principal role. The administration said Gelme would focus on Title IX and investigations and serve as a liaison with employee groups while remaining engaged in his building.
During discussion, administrators said the year-one split would likely be about 40% in the assistant-superintendent role and 60% continuing principal duties, with plans to reassess if the combined responsibilities prove unsustainable. Trustees moved and approved the appointment by voice vote; the transcript records the motion and that it passed.
