Smith‑Green Board approves consent agenda, accepts personnel resignations and OKs 2% non‑certified raise
Summary
At its Nov. 24 meeting the Smith‑Green Community Schools Board approved the consent agenda, accepted two staff resignations, amended Title I language in the elementary handbook, and approved a 2% increase to the non‑certified salary schedule. A proposed June 2028 Italy trip was discussed as informational.
The Smith‑Green Community Schools Board of Trustees approved routine consent items, accepted personnel resignations and approved a 2% increase to the non‑certified salary schedule at its Nov. 24 regular meeting.
Board members opened the meeting and then heard student and staff spotlights before moving to business. Administrators noted a successful clothing drive whose donations went to Shepherd House, praised recent musical and arts programs, and recognized winter athletes and newly inducted National Honor Society members.
During the consent agenda the board reviewed a proposed student field trip to Italy in June 2028; administrators described that request as preliminary—seeking the board’s blessing to determine student interest rather than final approval. The board then voted to approve the consent agenda by voice vote (tally not specified in the transcript).
Under personnel, the board accepted the resignations of Mrs. Stephanie Bowser, language arts teacher at the high school, effective Jan. 15, and Brandon, a junior high math teacher, effective Nov. 14. A board member moved to accept the personnel report; the motion carried by voice vote (tally not specified).
The board also approved an amendment to the 2025–26 elementary parent/student handbook to add or clarify the district’s Title I parent involvement policy so parents’ rights and the Title I program are described and posted on the district website. A board member moved and the board approved the handbook amendment by voice vote (tally not specified).
Administrators requested and the board approved a 2% increase to the non‑certified salary schedule, including transportation staff. The motion to approve the 2% raise passed by voice vote (tally not specified).
The meeting closed with additional congratulations to students and staff for recent productions and activities. The chair adjourned the meeting at 6:48 p.m.
