Summary

The Board considered honorable non-renewal for two part-time paraprofessionals, recorded a roll-call vote with one abstention, and the motion failed for lack of a majority of the full board.

The Board considered Item III.D.3, an honorable non-renewal of employment for two part-time paraprofessionals: J. Weber and N. O'Keefe, both effective June 2, 2026. Mrs. Kathy Lachowicz moved to approve the non-renewals and Mr. Volk seconded.

The roll-call vote recorded: Dr. Powell — aye; Mrs. Lachowicz — aye; Dr. Facko — abstain; Mr. Volk — aye. The minutes state the motion "failed for lack of a majority of the full board," indicating the abstention prevented reaching the required majority of the full board membership rather than a simple majority of those present. The minutes do not record further discussion or next steps regarding the personnel status of the two paraprofessionals.
