The board moved and approved a slate of administrative hires at the June 22 meeting. Tom McCoy moved, supported by Amber Swift, to approve the hires listed on the agenda; the motion passed with all members present voting aye.
The approved hires were: Jeff Dykhouse as Director of Curriculum; Jason Schut as Nickels Principal; Brett VanDeRoer as West Middle School Assistant Principal; and Chris Zylstra as Athletic Director. The minutes record the appointments by name and title but do not include additional contract details such as start dates or salaries; those specifics are "not specified" in the public minutes.
The approved hires will be incorporated into district staffing for 2026–2027 as listed in the meeting action items. The board directed routine HR processes to finalize employment paperwork and onboarding.
