Board approves personnel hires, handbook updates and a substitute pay increase
Summary
Trustees approved personnel recommendations including an assistant cross-country hire, multiple handbook updates, accepted donations for student food bags and a $3.38-per-day increase for substitute teachers for 2026–27.
The Solon Springs School District Board approved personnel recommendations, several handbook updates and a pay increase for substitute teachers during the meeting.
Administrators told the board they continue to interview candidates for an open special education position and noted that Barry will be returning to the district. The board approved the personnel recommendations as presented.
The board approved several handbook updates: the elementary handbook (with a correction to item #17 and permission to update personnel names), the middle/high school handbook, and the Eagles Nest parent handbook. Trustees amended one motion to permit corrections of personnel names before final publication.
The board accepted donations including nonperishable food intended for weekend student food bags (the district's 'food shelf' weekend bag program) and a $160 donation tied to a Nelson 5K. Board members noted typical practice that gifts above $500 should be brought to the board for approval; these donations were below that threshold and were accepted and acknowledged.
On compensation, the board approved a substitute teacher pay increase for the 2026–27 school year. The motion added $3.38 per day to substitute pay; the motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Administrators also mentioned a recommended assistant cross-country and middle-school coach, Brad Glassmaker, to fill a vacancy; the board was asked to approve that hire at a future meeting if not covered at this session.
The meeting moved into closed session later to consider employment and evaluation matters.
