Board approves multiple hires, rescinds one resignation and accepts several staff departures
Summary
The board approved summer hours for 12-month staff, rescinded one resignation, hired several paraprofessionals and specialists, approved bus driver hires, and accepted resignations and a retirement across Special Services and SCVTS campuses.
At its April 29 meeting, the Salem County Special Services and Vocational Technical School District board approved a slate of personnel actions across both districts.
Key actions recorded in the minutes include:
• Approval of summer hours for 12-month staff (four-day work week, nine hours per day, June 23–Aug 25, 2025).
• Rescission of the resignation of Chase Sieber (Adult Program Welding Assistant), as requested by the superintendent.
• Approval of the employment of Aiden Emery as Assistant Maintenance Mechanic at the Career and Technical High School Maintenance Department, salary $37,900 prorated (anticipated start April 15, 2025).
• Multiple hires in Special Services: Cynthia Caballero (Paraprofessional 1:1), Kathryn Fanz (Paraprofessional 1:1), Jazmine Rachal (Paraprofessional), Holly Williams (Paraprofessional 1:1) with effective dates and salaries listed in the minutes.
• Approval to hire Joy Strehle as a Speech-Language Specialist for the Early Intervention Program at $77.00 per hour, and approval of new bus drivers Bryan Riley, Alfonzo Dowe and Magic Mears at $27.50 per hour.
• Accepted resignations and a retirement: Carol Powers (resignation effective June 30, 2025), Cheryl Richmond (resignation effective June 30, 2025), Magic Mears (resignation effective April 14, 2025), and retirement resignation of Christopher Jones (effective June 30, 2025).
The minutes show these items were presented by the superintendent and approved by the board via recorded roll-call votes. Where the minutes list employee names but not full biographical details, the board records positions, proposed salaries, and effective dates.
Why it matters: The hires and departures affect staffing levels across Special Services and vocational programs serving students with specialized needs; the schedule change for 12-month staff alters employee working calendars for summer months.
Next steps: Human resources and payroll will process hires, rescissions and separations as approved; professional development and onboarding items will follow.
