Riverview SD board approves hires, early-retirement incentive and an ad hoc student-awards committee
Summary
The board approved multiple personnel actions — including Lindsay Smith as assistant principal (salary discussed at $95,000 pending clearances), substitute and coaching appointments — passed an early-retirement incentive and formed an ad hoc committee to develop student-recognition awards.
The Riverview School District board on March 9 approved a slate of personnel actions and created an ad hoc committee to design student-recognition awards.
Chair (S1) read a list of personnel motions and the board approved hires and resignations by voice vote. Chair (S1) announced Lindsay Smith as the new Riverview Junior–Senior High assistant principal, with a salary discussed as $90,000 and then corrected on the record to $95,000, “pending clearance, certification and health requirements.” The board also approved Elizabeth Goodlin as a long-term substitute for the junior–senior high school from Feb. 24 through May 18, accepted retirements and resignations (including Dina Hesselton and paraprofessional Bob Ayres), and approved other pending hires from Precision Hire Solutions.
Athletics staffing actions included approving Mark Jones as head varsity football coach and Shane Michael as assistant varsity track coach, plus volunteer coach approvals pending required clearances. The board acknowledged the administrative work behind the personnel recommendations and thanked staff for their recruiting and vetting efforts.
The board also approved a 2025–26 REA early-retirement incentive (ERI) as presented; Chair (S1) and other board members thanked administration and the solicitor for designing an incentive they said was intended to work for both the REA and the district.
Later in the meeting, Chair (S1) moved to form an ad hoc committee to create certificates and other student awards across K–12. The board named Board members Metzger (S4), Smales (S5), Sullivan (S13) and administrative staff to the committee; the motion passed by voice vote. The committee will develop award criteria and logistics and report back at a future study session.
What’s next: Human Resources was tasked to finalize hires and clearances. The ad hoc awards committee will develop criteria and return with a proposed structure for the district.
