Board approves hires, plan for uncertified teachers and local policy updates
Summary
Trustees approved employment recommendations including hires for a junior-high teacher and lead nurse, adopted a district plan to address uncertified teachers, and approved several local policy updates recommended by TASB.
The board approved employment recommendations for the 2025–26 school year, including hiring Jill Gernentz as a secondary teacher at Big Spring Junior High and Maegan Souquette as lead nurse for the district. Motions to approve the personnel hires were moved and seconded and carried 5-0.
Trustees also approved the Big Spring ISD Plan to Address Uncertified Teachers and adopted localized policy updates (AF, FDA, DGBA, FNG and GF) recommended by the district's TASB consultant to align with the district's amended DOI Plan. The agenda included a potential closed-session personnel item under Texas Government Code §551.074, but no closed session occurred and no action was taken during this meeting on personnel discipline or related closed-session subjects.
