Ellsworth board approves hires, transfer and accepts volleyball coach resignations following executive sessions
Summary
Following executive sessions on non‑elected personnel and the superintendent’s evaluation, the board approved several hires and a clerk transfer and accepted two volleyball coach resignations; votes were unanimous.
After multiple executive sessions on non‑elected personnel and the superintendent’s evaluation, the Ellsworth‑Kanopolis‑Geneseo USD #327 Board of Education approved several personnel actions on Nov. 11.
In open session following executive discussion, the board approved hiring Laken Vondracek as a kindergarten aide and full‑time substitute; Brenden Tripp as assistant wrestling coach (subject to a background check); and Kari Kephart as a grade 4–8 interventionist (subject to a background check). The board also approved transferring Natasha Florian from Payroll/AP Clerk to Business Manager/Board Clerk effective Feb. 1, 2025. The board accepted resignations from Amy Johnson (head volleyball coach) and Meredith Musil (assistant volleyball coach).
The motions were made and seconded as recorded in the minutes and passed 6-0. Multiple executive sessions were held under the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) prior to the votes. The minutes do not include details discussed in executive session, consistent with KOMA exceptions for non‑elected personnel.
