Iowa Falls board approves hires, records resignations and reviews open-enrollment requests
Summary
During its Aug. 13 meeting the Iowa Falls Board of Education approved several staff contracts, accepted multiple resignations, recorded FMLA/transfers, and reviewed a list of open-enrollment requests from neighboring districts; TEAM Services was listed for Transportation Building testing and inspection.
The Iowa Falls Board of Education approved a set of personnel actions and agreements as part of the consent agenda on Aug. 13. The consent package — approved 4-0 — included contract approvals for several new hires: Joelle Schwartz (ELL teacher, shared with Alden), Lisette Pieper (district office secretary), Lyric Gillespie (PV associate), Katie Teske (ASP onsite supervisor), Melissa Martinez (PV associate) and Lori Schmitt (middle school volleyball coach). The board also recorded resignations from Jaden Peterson (middle school associate), Paige Peterson (middle school girls track coach), Brooke Thelke (PV associate) and Alex Janssen (high school assistant softball coach).
Personnel adjustments recorded included a change for Mindy Held to 0.5 FTE MS teacher and a split assignment for Jennifer Winters (0.5 FTE PV special education teacher and 0.5 FTE success coach). The meeting also listed multiple open-enrollment requests for students transferring from Alden, ENP–HSAP, AGWSR, Hampton–Dumont and South Hardin; several entries were noted as pending resident-district approval in the minutes.
Under contracts, the board listed TEAM Services to provide construction testing and inspection services for the district Transportation Building project; the meeting record documents the contract item but does not contain the contract dollar amount or execution date. Principal reports were given later in the meeting.
What happens next: Contracted hires and staffing changes proceed through routine administrative onboarding; open-enrollment items marked "pending resident district approval" will require those districts' action. The minutes do not include timelines or dollar amounts for the TEAM Services agreement.
