Personnel committee reviews May report and discusses Shettler Elementary hiring timeline

The Fruitport Community Schools Personnel Committee met Monday, May 11, 2026, at 5:31 p.m. at the district central office to review the district's May personnel report and to discuss a hiring recommendation and timeline for the Shettler Elementary principal position and related teacher vacancies for the 2026'2027 school year.

The committee reviewed the May 2026 Personnel Report, which the minutes say included recommendations for new hires, resignation notices, retirement notices, transfers, and positions that remain posted and vacant. The minutes do not list the number of affected positions or the names of any recommended hires; those details were recorded as "not specified" in the meeting minutes.

Committee members also discussed an update on a hiring recommendation for the Shettler Elementary principal'ship and on the timeline for filling teacher positions that will be vacant next school year due to retirements and resignations. The minutes summarize the discussion but do not record specific candidates, firm dates for interviews or appointments, or any motion to approve a hire.

The meeting record notes that committee members received updates on other committee agenda items but does not detail those items. There was no public comment at the meeting. The session was adjourned at 6:00 p.m., and the minutes were respectfully submitted by Jason Kennedy, Superintendent.

The Personnel Committee did not record any formal motions, votes, or appointments in the submitted minutes. Any formal hiring actions or vote tallies, if taken later, are not included in these minutes and therefore are described here as not specified.
