Roseville Community Schools board approves personnel slate, January warrants and conditional parking-lot use for shredding event
Summary
At its Feb. 23 meeting the Roseville Community Schools Board of Education unanimously approved a package of personnel actions (hires, re-hires, re-classifications and terminations), authorized the January warrant list and granted conditional approval for a community shredding event at Roseville High School; a public commenter raised a school–community partnership.
The Roseville Community Schools Board of Education met Feb. 23 at the district administration building and approved a series of routine but consequential actions, including personnel changes, payment of the district's January bills and conditional use of the high-school parking lot for a shredding event.
President Theresa Genest called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and the board recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Treasurer Matthew McCartney moved to approve the minutes of the Jan. 26 regular meeting; Trustee Michelle Williams-Ward seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
The board then considered the superintendent's personnel recommendations. Secretary Joseph D. DeFelice moved, supported by Trustee Gina Aiuto, to approve the full personnel slate as presented. The recorded action encompassed new hires — including special education aides at Kment and Kaiser elementaries, cooks for Steenland Elementary and Roseville High, and a utility custodian assigned across buildings — re-classifications, re-hires (including a consultant for special education at Fountain Elementary) and listed terminations. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
The business office presented the General Fund warrant list for the month ending Jan. 31, 2026 and recommended payment. Treasurer Matthew McCartney moved to approve the warrant list; Trustee Michelle Williams-Ward seconded. On roll call the ayes were President Theresa Genest, Secretary Joseph D. DeFelice, Treasurer Matthew McCartney, Trustee Gina Aiuto and Trustee Michelle Williams-Ward; the motion carried 5-0.
Trustee Michelle Williams-Ward requested use of the Roseville High School parking lot for a community shredding event "pending proof of insurance," and a motion to approve the request carried unanimously. The agenda header lists the event date as Monday, March 16, 2026, while the motion text records the event date as Monday, May 16, 2026; the board approved the request on the record without resolving that discrepancy. The approval was explicitly conditioned on receiving proof of insurance.
During the public comment period, a speaker who identified herself as Teri from Horace-Mann spoke about a proposed partnership with schools, mentioned being an RCS graduate and described interest in student workshops. No other members of the public spoke on business-agenda items earlier in the meeting.
Board members and district administrators offered brief closing remarks and the board announced its regular meeting dates through June 2026. Secretary Joseph D. DeFelice moved to adjourn at 8:03 p.m.; Trustee Michelle Williams-Ward seconded and the motion carried 5-0.
The actions approved at the Feb. 23 meeting were recorded in the official minutes; any community groups planning events on district property should provide required insurance documentation to the district before the use will be permitted.
