Board accepts separations and approves $55,000 special-education transport van purchase
Summary
The board reviewed separations and retirements, noted roughly 15% vacancy in some buildings, approved hires for training positions, and voted to buy a new passenger van ($55,000) for special-education transport with protocols for chauffeur licensing and business-office oversight.
During the work session the board reviewed staff separations, retirements and recommended hires. The staff report (H1–H4) named four separations and one retirement for board acceptance; directors said building principals are managing operations while HR and teaching-and-learning continue recruitment.
Trustees discussed a live vacancies tracker that shows ongoing openings; Trustee Gavin estimated an average vacancy rate of about 15% across buildings and asked for vacancy-to-staff ratios to be added to future reports. Human resources said exit interviews are emailed on separation and may be scheduled in person; HR will follow up to ensure the board receives exit-survey results.
On personnel hires the board reviewed recommended candidates for classroom and central-office roles and Title I-funded positions. Resumés were circulated via the agenda link prior to votes.
In finance, the board approved the purchase of a new 2024 Chevy Express 3500 passenger van for special-education student transport at $55,000 (funding code 31aa). Director of Special Education Dr. Bernick said staff with chauffeur endorsements will be assigned, and the business office will draft vehicle checkout, mileage and maintenance protocols. The board voted to approve the purchase.
No formal disciplinary or corrective personnel actions were adopted during this session.
