Board approves personnel hires, accepts retirements and completes policy reviews
Summary
The board approved several staff contracts and volunteers, accepted multiple retirements/resignations, approved the annual review of Policy 505.8 and waived the first reading of several other policies in a 5-0 vote.
The Iowa Falls Board of Education approved routine personnel actions and completed scheduled policy reviews during its Feb. 10 meeting.
Under the consent agenda the board approved hiring and volunteer listings including Scott Henderson as middle-school head custodian; coaching appointments and volunteers were also recorded. The board accepted retirements and resignations, including Bud Ites (retirement, MS head custodian), Rio Lujano (resignation, MS vocal music teacher/fall-play director/large-group director), Angie Scallon (retirement, Greenbelt Alternative teacher), Nicki Smith (retirement, HSAP teacher), and approved an extended leave of absence for Jacki Nachazal. The minutes list additional hires and volunteers by name.
The board approved the annual review of Board Policy 505.8 (Parent and Family Engagement) on a motion by Stauffer, seconded by Moore (carried 5-0). Separately, the board waived the first reading and approved the second reading of several policies, including 102 (Equal Educational Opportunity), 401.1 (Equal Employment Opportunity), 401.6 (Limitations to Employment References), 710.01 (School Nutrition Program notices of nondiscrimination), 710.1E2 (Child Nutrition Programs Civil Rights Complaint Form) and 710.1R1 (School Food Program civil-rights complaints procedure).
The minutes do not provide contract terms, salary figures or detailed timelines for replacements; the board indicated a goal to absorb staffing reductions through attrition where possible to limit general-fund costs amid declining enrollment and constrained supplemental state aid.
