Mayfield board adds mental health counselor, instructional assistant and math PD post
Summary
The board approved adding an MES special education instructional assistant, a West KY Safe Futures grant-funded mental health guidance counselor, and a Title I-funded mathematics professional development position; the personnel report also listed new hires and resignations.
The Mayfield Independent School Board on Nov. 18 approved several staffing changes aimed at bolstering student supports and instructional capacity.
On motions that were unanimously approved, the board added an MES special education instructional assistant to address rising needs at Mayfield Elementary, approved a mental health guidance counselor position funded through the West KY Safe Futures grant, and authorized hiring a Mathematics Education professional development services employee to be paid with Title I funds to provide ongoing coaching for MMS and MHS staff.
The board also reviewed and approved the November personnel report, which listed new hire Ashley Boyd (MES classified instructional assistant), the resignation of Jessica Pineda Rios (MHS bilingual instructional assistant) and the resignation of Yuri Arellano (MES bilingual instructional assistant) effective Nov. 29, 2024. Several certified substitutes were added to district rosters (Shay Quisenbery, Stacy Yeates, Cynthia Brown, Adrianna Neale).
Board members framed these hires as responses to rising needs and as uses of identified grant and Title I funds. The minutes do not include salary figures or detailed job descriptions; funding sources are noted (West KY Safe Futures grant, Title I) but exact budgetary lines were not provided in the minutes.
