Hardy County BOE approves multiple personnel recommendations, suspensions and new HR director
Summary
The board approved a superintendent-recommended set of personnel actions including unpaid suspension days, multiple hires and resignations, and appointed Jennifer Stroderman as director of human resources effective July 1, 2026. Actions were adopted by voice vote; roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The Hardy County Board of Education approved a broad package of personnel actions after a closed executive session and superintendent recommendations.
After returning from executive session (no action taken in closed session), the superintendent recommended a three-day suspension without pay for Angela Taylor, split as a half-day May 18, one day May 26, one day May 27 and a half-day May 28. "I will recommend to the board the approval of a three-day suspension of Angela Taylor," the superintendent stated; a motion and second were given and the motion passed on voice vote with one recorded opposition in the transcript.
The board also approved multiple unpaid days for service personnel, a slate of service and professional hires (including substitute and classroom aides, custodians, cooks and teachers), and several extracurricular coach appointments. The superintendent read a long list of recommended hires and resignations (names and effective dates documented in the meeting record); the board moved, seconded and approved the recommendations by voice vote.
In the final personnel vote the board approved the superintendent’s recommendation to hire Jennifer Stroderman as director of human resources and attendance, effective July 1, 2026. The motion to hire was moved, seconded and approved on voice vote.
What’s next: these personnel actions take effect on the dates listed in the superintendent’s recommendations. The transcript does not include roll-call vote tallies; actions are recorded as approved by voice vote. Any party seeking detailed vote records should consult the official minutes or contact the board office for certified vote counts and personnel paperwork.
