The board approved a consent agenda including multiple new hires and one resignation; the superintendent explained that ten teachers were initially non-renewed due to budget uncertainty and resignations later permitted some rehiring.

Board member Steve Britton asked for clarification about teacher non-renewals; Superintendent Gallagher explained that ten teachers had initially been non-renewed because of budget uncertainty and contractual timelines, and that subsequent resignations created vacancies allowing some staff to be rehired. The minutes do not specify which rehired staff correspond to the earlier non-renewals nor list salary or contract terms.
