Pleasant Hill SD 1 accepts longtime director's resignation; begins process to fill vacancy and reviews personnel recommendations
Summary
Board accepted the resignation of John Oldham, who served about 19 years, and directed staff to begin a replacement process; the personnel report also recommended hiring Scott Berjovsky as a special education teacher, but no formal vote on that hire was recorded in the transcript.
The Pleasant Hill SD 1 board announced and accepted the resignation of longtime board member John Oldham and discussed next steps to recruit or appoint a replacement.
Board Chair (Speaker 2) read the resignation notice: "Today, we received the resignation of John Oldham. Former member who served with us for 19 years," and asked whether there were objections; hearing none, the chair said the board accepted the resignation with gratitude.
The board and Presenter discussed whether to put replacement work on the next board agenda or direct staff to begin the appointment or recruitment work now. Presenter recommended gathering the board for an online discussion and then returning guidance; the chair and members agreed that staff (Kimberly and Presenter) should begin the process and that discussion/selection work could continue at the next meeting.
On personnel items, Presenter reviewed a personnel report that included a resignation of a high-school special education teacher and recommended hiring Mr. Scott Berjovsky, noting his eight years of special-education experience across Oregon and California, dual licensure and a master's degree in education. The transcript records the recommendation but does not record a formal vote on that hire.
Next steps: The board scheduled a work session at 5:30 p.m. and a regular meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Aug. 24, where members indicated they expect to continue discussion on filling the vacancy and any related personnel actions.
