Vernonia board accepts retirement and resignation; two staff roles to be filled
Summary
The board approved the retirement of VFA teacher Debbie Taylor effective June 13, 2025, and accepted the resignation of 5th-grade teacher Ian Hunt, who is moving out of state.
The Vernonia School District Board of Directors on April 10 approved personnel actions that include the retirement of VFA teacher Debbie Taylor and the resignation of 5th-grade teacher Ian Hunt. The board approved both actions by motion (Joanie Jones moved; Stacey Pelster seconded) and recorded the effective date for both as June 13, 2025.
Superintendent Jim Helmen reported that Ian Hunt is relocating to the East Coast and will resign at the end of the school year, while Debbie Taylor will retire at the same time. The district will need to post and fill at least the 5th-grade teaching vacancy for the 2025–26 school year; no hiring timeline or replacement names were provided in the minutes.
