Board approves capital plan, hires assistant football coach and sets workshop schedule
Summary
The board approved the 2025–2026 capital plan, approved the stipend-only hire of Kevin Hancock as assistant varsity football coach, scheduled workshops to review supplements and the salary schedule, and agreed to enter an executive session on a personnel/character matter.
The Geneva City Board of Education approved a capital plan for the 2025–2026 school year, agreed to hire Kevin Hancock as an assistant varsity football coach (stipend only), scheduled follow-up workshops on salary supplements, and voted to go into executive session to discuss "good name and character."
The superintendent presented the capital plan and said it is a fluid document intended as a starting point for future community-informed planning. A board member summarized recent planning, saying the group met the previous day and will "move some priorities around" and try to meet late spring or in the summer with community members to craft a plan for presentation by September.
On personnel, the superintendent recommended hiring "Mr. Kevin Hancock as assistant varsity football coach," and the board approved the hire; the motion record indicates the appointment is for the stipend portion of the role only. The board also discussed an auditor finding about unauthorized supplemental payments and agreed to hold a workshop to review the salary schedule and supplement approval process before finalizing related payroll actions.
Board members approved a motion to enter executive session to discuss matters of "good name and character"; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote, and non-administrative attendees were asked to leave the room. The meeting record does not include a roll-call vote or a recorded vote tally for these actions.
Other business: the board confirmed a walkthrough and car-line observation for staff (gates open at 7:15 a.m.), discussed School Resource Officer staffing (Officer Hornsby returned to Milwaukee patrol; Ryan Moore will be at the high school until his retirement at the end of October; Chief Mock communicated the change), welcomed new ADA representative Casey Goodson, and announced upcoming school sporting events and a canceled soldiers appreciation day.
The board then moved to journal the meeting and adjourn.
