Board renews multiple staff contracts for 2026–27 and hires several part-time educators
Summary
Trustees approved renewal of numerous teacher and staff contracts for 2026–27, including probationary and term employees across elementary and secondary campuses, and hired three part-time educators; some renewals carried addenda requiring full certification by the end of 2026–27.
The Union Grove ISD Board voted March 23 to renew multiple staff contracts for the 2026–2027 school year and to hire several part-time educators.
Under motions brought by Trustee Tim Turner and seconded by colleagues, the board approved renewals covering elementary and secondary probationary and term employees, dual-assignment positions, and 11- and 12-month employees, with salaries to follow the district’s teacher scale. Several renewals included addenda requiring employees to obtain required certifications by the end of the 2026–2027 school year.
The board also approved hiring three part-time educators — Roger Adams, Gailyn Sutton and Barry Woodruff — under the district’s model part-time educator agreement. All motions passed unanimously.
The minutes list multiple named staff members whose contracts were renewed across categories (elementary and secondary probationary/term, dual assignments and non-certified CTE positions). Where addenda were noted the minutes specified that the employee "must become fully certified for assignment before the end of the 2026-2027 school year." The board accepted resignations from Katheryn Feaker (effective May 21, 2026) and Sarah Pruitt (effective at the end of her 2025–26 contract) as part of the personnel actions.
District administrators will finalize contract paperwork and continue certification verification for staff with addenda.
