The board approved multiple staff and coaching appointments, accepted resignations, rescinded some previously announced appointments, and approved unpaid maternity leave. The board also adopted the second reading of Policy 1550 (Equal Employment/Anti‑Discrimination).
On Nov. 14 the New Providence Board approved a slate of personnel actions moved by Rebecca Coniglio and seconded by Jennifer Killea. Appointments included coaching and extracurricular assignments and a crisis counselor position for Grace Kinsella (listed at $49,668.00 with a noted base salary of $70,955.00).
