Shrewsbury board approves tutoring, substitutes, club changes and field trips
Summary
The board approved High Impact Tutoring and Homework Club teacher appointments funded by federal grants, substitute appointments, a leave and long‑term replacement, and several field trips and professional development requests for the 2024–25 school year.
During the Dec. 18, 2024 meeting the Shrewsbury Borough School District Board of Education approved multiple personnel and program items recommended by the superintendent and Personnel Committee.
The board approved three High Impact Tutoring teachers — Vicki Angiolino, Jaime Corrigan and Leigh Trillhaase — to work Mondays through Thursdays from Jan. 6 through April 16, 2025 at the contracted hourly rate not to exceed 30 hours, to be funded from the High Impact Tutoring Grant (account #20‑450‑100‑100‑04‑0). The board also approved Homework Club teachers (Rachel Birzin, Dana Miele, Kelly Schlosser, Chrissy Bonura, Christine Morgan, Laura Ehlers and Cindy Newman) to work the same timeframe and hourly rate, funded by the ESEA Title I grant (same account reference in the minutes).
Personnel actions included rescinding Yolanda Roeder as Spanish Club advisor (previously approved June 26, 2024), approving substitute teacher Haley Scheuer at the established substitute rate of $125/day, and approving Louise Donnelly as an administration substitute at $400/day. The board approved a leave of absence for Jen Metzler‑O’Rourke from Jan. 2–June 30, 2025 and appointed Kelsey McCauley as the extended fourth‑grade long‑term leave replacement for the same period.
Curriculum items approved included field trips and professional development requests: a Grade 4 trip to the New Jersey Statehouse (June 3, 2025) with a transportation cost of $1,995; a Grade 6 Pocono Environmental Education Center trip (May 14–16, 2025) with total trip cost listed at $12,950 and transportation cost $2,195; and student ski club trips and various staff professional development sessions as listed in the minutes.
The personnel and program approvals were moved by Mr. Galvin and seconded by Ms. Gourley‑Thompson, and recorded as approved in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: administrative staff to implement hires, process substitutes and finalize trip logistics according to board approvals and applicable grant funding.
