Board accepts resignations, declines to waive contract termination fees
Summary
The board accepted several resignations including a board member and staff; it applied the district's liquidated-damages schedule to an elementary teacher who resigned July 21, triggering a $1,500 fee per policy.
The Siren School District Board accepted the resignation of board member Jamie Thompson and several staff resignations at the July meeting. The board also discussed whether to waive contract termination fees for departing employees and approved acceptance without waivers where applicable.
Board members reviewed the district's liquidated-damages schedule aloud: resignations received June 16–30 incur $750, July 1–31 incur $1,500, and resignations on or after Aug. 1 incur $2,000. Staff reported that the elementary teacher Adela Ortiz's resignation email was received July 21, which places the fee at $1,500; the board moved to accept her resignation without waiving the termination fee.
The board also accepted the resignation of the head high-school basketball coach, Tristan Christian Lustigoff, and two assistant football coaches, expressing thanks for their service. These personnel decisions were approved by voice vote.
