Summary

Under O.S. 25 Section 307 (B1)(B2) the board met in executive session to discuss employee resignations, the termination of Michelle Johnson, and hiring matters. After returning to open session the board accepted three resignations, affirmed a termination and approved multiple hires for 2026–27.

Committee member David Cleveland moved to convene an executive session "pursuant to [O.S. 25 Section 307 (B1)(B2)]" to discuss employee resignations; the termination of Michelle Johnson's employment contract; and employment, hiring and appointments including certified personnel on continuing contracts, new certified hires and an elementary school assistant principal. The motion was seconded by Amanda Nichols and approved by the three members present.

The transcript records the subsequent compliance announcement that the board returned to open session and then shows recorded votes: the board accepted letters of resignation from Kendra Sloan (Elementary School Teacher), Grant Elerick (High School Teacher) and Caitlin Scoles (Elementary School Building Resource Assistant); the board affirmed the termination of Michelle Johnson's contract and employment; and the board approved a slate of hires for the 2026–27 school year, including specific hires recorded separately. The transcript does not contain the discussion from the executive session (as expected) nor detailed personnel files or rationale beyond the recorded motions and votes.
