Board approves several personnel hires including paraprofessional and weight-room supervisor
Summary
The board approved multiple hires on voice votes: a paraprofessional recommended to split time between elementary special education and high school, an emergency weight-room supervisor, and assistant coaching staff; approvals were contingent on usual background checks.
Presenter (Speaker 1) told trustees the administrative team interviewed two candidates and recommended hiring Mariah (transcript: 'Raya') Farms as a paraprofessional for the 2025 school year, split between elementary special-education/title support in the morning and high school in the afternoon. Presenter (Speaker 1) said the hire was "recommended" and subject to background checks; the board approved the hire by voice vote.
The board also approved an emergency authorizer/supervisor for the weight room (Pete/Keith Fritz) after a resignation and confirmed a recommendation from staff to approve a high-school assistant girls basketball coach following interviews. Staff (Speaker 3) described the coach as experienced and committed "for the kids," and trustees agreed to the appointments.
Why it matters: these hires fill classroom and extracurricular supervision gaps for the coming school year, including special-education support, weight-room supervision and coaching. Presenter (Speaker 1) said the paraprofessional role will be used to support Title students and to cover a district substitute vacancy.
Vote and procedural notes: motions were made and passed by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript. Several trustees asked clarifying questions about assignment and staffing models before approving the recommendations.
