The board noted the appointment of Rachel Ao (to replace Bailey Mackey at Edison Elementary), an assistant principal identified in the record as "Gileian" (presented for Royal View Elementary), and Arya Lipscom (listed as the district's new communications coordinator). The board said these hires bring instructional and communications experience to the district.
