Waterloo Local board appoints interim superintendent, moves forward on searches and approves multiple contracts
Summary
The board accepted resignations, set a search for superintendent and treasurer, appointed Bob Wolf as interim superintendent for June 1–July 31, and approved a package of contracts and personnel actions including an operations manager contract and Destination Imagination supplemental; votes were taken by roll call and passed.
The Waterloo Local Board of Education unanimously approved a series of personnel and contract actions, including the appointment of Bob Wolf as interim superintendent from June 1 through July 31 and motions to begin searches for a permanent superintendent and treasurer.
Board leadership reminded the public that both the superintendent and the treasurer had resigned or announced retirements; the president said the district expects interviews to begin toward the end of the month and hoped to have new hires by late May or early June.
The board voted to accept the resignation of Teresa/Terry Zachariah and authorized the process for filling that board vacancy (applications and letters of interest to be submitted; April 24 deadline for applicants mentioned in the meeting). On the appointment of an interim superintendent, the board passed the motion by roll call; meeting comments noted Bob Wolf's long prior service as principal and superintendent in the district.
Other approvals included a three‑year contract to consolidate operations duties for a newly created operations manager position, approval of the associated salary grid, acceptance of donations (PTO $1,500; theater $500; a $1,000 scholarship fund), grants participation (including a roughly $7,500 Recycle Ohio grant), and several certified and classified contracts and substitute lists for the 2025–26 school year. The board also approved a Destination Imagination supplemental memorandum of understanding funded in part by a $5,000 parental donation.
