Lexington 01 board approves staff recommendations, hears grievance in executive session and schedules budget hearing

The Lexington 01 Board of Trustees on June 10 approved several staffing recommendations for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years, entered an executive session to hear an employee grievance appeal and took no action on that grievance, the chair said.

Vice Chair Pizzuti moved the motions on personnel throughout the meeting; after each motion the board took voice votes that the chair recorded as “aye,” and each motion carried. Motions included approval of two support staff hires to finish the 2025-26 school year, approval of 44 certified staff recommendations for 2026-27, approval of five administrative staff recommendations for 2026-27, and approval of 13 support staff recommendations for 2026-27. The board recorded the approvals by voice vote; specific vote counts were not provided in the meeting transcript.

Chair (name not specified in the transcript) summarized the executive session outcome, saying the board "received an employee grievance appeal, and no action is necessary at this time." The board had entered executive session earlier to "discuss employee recommendations and receive an employee grievance appeal," according to Vice Chair Pizzuti's motion.

During the discussion of 2026-27 staffing, the chair asked Miss Price for an update; Price reported the district "is still hiring for 2026-27" and encouraged continued candidate referrals for summer hiring.

The chair also announced the board's next regularly scheduled meeting will be Tuesday, June 16, when a public hearing is set for 5 p.m. on the proposed 2026-27 general fund operating budget. No further fiscal details were discussed during the June 10 meeting.

The meeting opened at 8 a.m., followed ceremonial items including the Pledge of Allegiance, and concluded after a motion to adjourn carried by voice vote.
