Board approves personnel updates; district awarded $50,000 grant for social‑worker support
Summary
The board approved new hires (a sixth‑grade teacher and a social worker), ratified personnel updates including appointing Crystal Kepky as transportation director, and recorded a $50,000 grant from the Health Foundation of Leaport to support the social‑worker position.
The South Central Com School Corp board approved several personnel items and recorded a grant award intended to support student social services.
The board introduced and welcomed newly approved staff: Jacob Havner was noted as a new sixth‑grade teacher, and Caitlyn Duca was presented as the district’s new social worker; Duca was described as a 2019 South Central graduate with a master’s in social work and recent experience with a local counseling provider.
Separately, the board approved personnel updates for the 2026–27 school year and moved to appoint Crystal Kepky as director of transportation while she continues to serve as the corporation office administrative assistant. The board also noted that Mr. Biggs will continue as director of school safety and assist with transportation duties.
Administrators told the board that the district has received a $50,000 grant from the Health Foundation of Leaport to support the social‑worker position. The board voted to accept the personnel slate and the grant was announced as part of the administrative report.
Why this matters: the hires fill classroom and social‑service roles for the upcoming year, and the grant provides dedicated funding to sustain the social‑worker position.
The board recorded the motions and carried the votes; specific mover/second names and a full roll call with named tallies were not recorded in the excerpt.
