Board approves consent agenda after executive session, confirming leaves, hires and a resignation
Summary
After an executive session on contracts and personnel, the board approved the consent agenda including licensed and support-staff leaves (Heather Fischer, Wendy Goldsmith, Emanuel Niyonsaba), a new hire (Taylor Coppenrath, math teacher), and a resignation (Xan West).
The Board reviewed a detailed consent agenda that listed licensed and non-licensed personnel actions. Items included a licensed leave of absence for Heather Fischer (elementary teacher), a leave of absence request for Wendy Goldsmith beginning June 4, 2025, a new hire request for Taylor Coppenrath (math teacher for the 2025–26 school year), a support-staff LOA for Emanuel Niyonsaba (custodian, 7/5/25–8/5/25), and a resignation notice from paraeducator Xan West.
Board members had specific personnel questions and postponed action on the consent agenda until after an executive session on contract negotiations and a personnel matter. The Board entered executive session at 8:11 p.m. and exited at 8:41 p.m. Upon return to open session Director Laurie Kigonya moved to approve the consent agenda "as provided;" the motion passed unanimously.
The transcript does not provide individual salary or contract dollar amounts for the listed hires or leaves. Human-resources staff will document and file the personnel transactions per district practice.
