Greencastle board approves consent agenda, extensive personnel hires and AP/dual-credit assignments
Summary
The board unanimously approved its consent agenda Aug. 25, 2025, including meeting minutes, payroll and claims, financial reports, retirements and multiple hires and transfers across certified and classified staff, and numerous AP/dual-credit teacher approvals for 2025–26.
The Greencastle Community School Corporation board voted unanimously Aug. 25 to approve its consent agenda, which included approval of the July 28, 2025 regular meeting minutes, payroll claims and a period of claims presented by Finance Director Kellie Romer. Romer read claim numbers and asked the board to approve payment; the motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Board member Jimmy Beasley and seconded by Board member Kathryn Dory.
Personnel items included retirements and resignations: Jane Roberson’s retirement as a 7th-grade math teacher at Greencastle Middle School (effective July 29, 2025) and classified resignations such as Doreen Workman (bus monitor) and Waleska Toro (instructional assistant). The board approved multiple hires and transfers for the 2025–26 year, including Seth Geiger as a math teacher at Greencastle Middle School and various instructional assistant hires and substitute teacher approvals.
The board also approved a string of AP/ACP/dual-credit appointments at Greencastle High School for the 2025–26 school year, listing dozens of courses and instructors (examples include Brian Hammett for Math M118, Dan Hankee for Math M125/M126, Kara Jedele for BUSN-101, and Brad Kingma for AP Biology and AP Chemistry). Athletic staffing approvals included assistant and volunteer coach appointments across middle and high school programs, and several student lifeguard hires were recorded.
Compensation adjustments for substitute bus drivers Jody Cowger and Tracey Knuckles were presented and included in the consent action. The consent agenda motion carried unanimously with five board members present. The meeting minutes do not record debate on these items; they were bundled under the consent agenda and approved as presented.
