Union Grove ISD board renews multiple staff contracts and approves new hires for 2025–2026
Summary
Board approved contract renewals across elementary and secondary staff, hired three part-time educators, and approved Sarah Pruitt as a certified administrator (11-month probationary contract) for the 2025–2026 school year.
The Union Grove Independent School District Board of Trustees on March 24 approved a series of personnel motions renewing contracts for elementary and secondary teachers and staff for the 2025–2026 school year and accepting several new hires.
Motions made primarily by Tim Turner and seconded by Justin Smith renewed contracts for sets of elementary 10-month probationary and term employees and secondary 10-, 11-, and 12-month term and probationary staff, following the district's teacher pay scale. The board also voted to hire part-time educators Roger Adams, Gailyn Sutton and Barry Woodruff and approved hiring Sarah Pruitt as a certified administrator on an 11-month probationary contract, with salary to be negotiated with the superintendent.
Among the personnel actions: several employees appointed to 2025–2026 contracts were set with addenda requiring full certification by Aug. 13, 2025 (for example, Samantha Adams and Evette Evans for JH/HS). The motions were recorded as carrying unanimously in the meeting minutes. The minutes list the names of employees covered by each motion; specific salary figures and contract language were not included in the minutes and are to follow district policy and the teacher scale.
