Summary
The board recorded the resignation of middle‑school English teacher Matthew Mercure and an appointment of Thomas Durham as the hire. Head of School Greg P. Shugrue reported a signed MOU for Armed School Security Officers and that the ASO posting has produced a single applicant so far.
The W. L. Gilbert School Corporation documented personnel changes and an update on school security at its Nov. 20 meeting.
The board listed the resignation of Matthew Mercure, middle‑school English teacher. The agenda also listed a certified‑staff appointment: Thomas Durham, designated as the incoming middle‑school English teacher. The minutes present these personnel items as board business items; no separate roll‑call vote for the hire or additional hiring conditions appear in the minutes.
On school security, Head of School Greg P. Shugrue reported an MOU related to Armed School Security Officers has been signed and a job posting has been circulated. Shugrue said the posting has attracted one applicant so far and that administrators "will not rush the process" and are seeking the right fit for the role.
The minutes do not record additional details about the MOU's terms, any changes to contract language, or a timeline for filling the position. The board also noted ongoing building maintenance spending in the Finance Committee report, which may be relevant to facilities and security planning.
