Board approves coach rehiring and multiple consent-agenda personnel and contract items
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda including contracts, new hires, five continuing-education grant recommendations, and motions to rehire or hire coaches (including hiring Jay Shellinger as assistant track coach and rehiring multiple head and assistant coaches).
The board approved several consent-agenda items and took votes on coach hires and rehiring recommendations presented by the superintendent.
Consent agenda items: the superintendent asked trustees to approve routine items grouped in the consent agenda, including approval of the 05/18/2026 meeting minutes, auditor and insurance contracts, ASB account transfers and closures (closing the graduating-class ASB account, moving funds to a district alumni account, and opening an ASB account for the incoming sixth-grade class), and recommended personnel hires for 2627. The superintendent also presented five continuing-education grant recommendations under district policy.
Coaching and athletics decisions: the board discussed track participation (more than 70 participants) and approved hiring Jay Shellinger as an assistant track coach to replace a resignation. The board moved and seconded multiple rehire motions and carried votes to rehire the head coaches and approve lists of assistant and sub-varsity coaches for the 2627 school year, including named rehires recommended by the superintendent (examples mentioned in the packet: Hunter Gordon for baseball; Teresa Edwards for softball; Stacy Collins for track). Trustees debated whether volunteer alternatives would suffice but ultimately approved paid positions given participation and staffing changes.
Votes and outcomes: multiple motions to approve handbook changes, personnel rehires, and the consent agenda were moved and seconded on the record and carried at the meeting. Where a motion was explicitly moved and seconded, the mover and seconder were recorded in the transcript (e.g., a trustee moved, the superintendent or another trustee seconded); the chair called the ayes for each carried motion.
What comes next: Approved hires and contracts will be processed by central office; staff will return with any delayed items (for example, a school-site contract deferred to a later June meeting).
