Summary

The Geneva City Board of Education approved several administrative and personnel actions after the superintendent presented recommendations based on a recent audit.
The superintendent said auditors recommended stronger internal controls and separation of duties; to address that, the district proposed a new central office bookkeeper/payroll & HR position "to strengthen internal controls and ensure proper separation of duties." The board discussed adding language to support staff certification through the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) and approved the job description by voice vote.
The board then approved hiring Jared White as the district’s Special Education Coordinator, with an effective date of July 1, 2026. The superintendent presented the hire as part of routine personnel recommendations; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
The board also accepted the retirement of Amanda Percise (referred to in the transcript as “Mandy Percise”) and the resignation of Crystal Hawthorne, both effective at the end of the school year. These personnel actions were approved by voice vote.
Votes at a glance: the transcript records these motions as approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were provided in the meeting record.
What’s next: The job description for the bookkeeper will be implemented under the chief school financial officer’s oversight; discussion included potential district support for ASBO certification but no formal policy change was adopted at the meeting.
