Ely board places three staff on unrequested leave, details reassignments
Summary
Following a district finance recommendation, the board placed Jeff Carey, Molly Olson and Madeline Olson on unrequested leave effective June 30, 2026, and recorded specific reassignments for each in a unanimous roll-call vote.
The board adopted three resolutions at its June 8 meeting placing staff on 1.0 FTE unrequested leaves of absence effective June 30, 2026 and specifying reassignments for the 2026-2027 school year. The roll-call votes were recorded as unanimous (Westlund-YES, Omerza-YES, Coombe-YES, Sjoberg-YES, Colarich-YES, Moravitz-YES).
Resolutions and reassignments recorded in the minutes: • Jeff Carey: placed on a 1.0 FTE unrequested leave of absence from assistant principal effective June 30, 2026, and reassigned to a 1.0 FTE special education teacher for 2026-2027. • Molly Olson: placed on a 1.0 FTE unrequested leave of absence effective June 30, 2026, and reinstated to a 0.60 FTE math teacher and 0.40 FTE teacher on special assignment (total 1.0 FTE) for 2026-2027. • Madeline Olson: placed on a 1.0 FTE unrequested leave of absence effective June 30, 2026, and reinstated to a 0.80 FTE Media Specialist for 2026-2027.
The minutes do not provide personnel rationale beyond linking the actions to the finance committee’s reduction resolution; they do not record appeals, individual statements from the affected employees, or salary details.
