Monroe Central approves hires, resignations and AG department contract-day restructure
Summary
The board accepted several certified resignations, approved multiple new hires and agreed to restructure the agriculture department’s contract days so AG teachers move from an extended 245-day contract to 205 days each; board also authorized adding stipends for co-curricular work in future bargaining.
The Monroe Central School Corp board accepted certified staff resignations and approved new appointments, then approved a restructuring of extended contract days for the agriculture department to make compensation more equitable.
Personnel actions: The board accepted resignations from certified staff and approved appointments including an additional kindergarten teacher and several elementary and middle-school hires. The motions were approved as part of the consent agenda and subsequent personnel motions (voice votes recorded as approved).
Agriculture (AG) department proposal: Administration recommended redistributing 60 extended contract days historically applied to a primary AG teacher (245 days) so that each AG teacher would hold 205 days, providing extra summer time or planning days for all AG instructors. The superintendent said the change is intended to make compensation fairer for staff who perform extracurricular activities without separate stipends. The board approved the restructuring and asked administration to include stipends for co-curricular duties in upcoming bargaining discussions.
Contract rollovers: The board also approved one-year contract rollovers/extensions for several administrators and staff, including the Director of Student Services (Taylor Swift, as named in the packet), the high-school principal (Mr. Middleton) and elementary administrators. All contract extensions were approved by unanimous vote during the meeting.
