Foley board approves resignations, new contracts and coach stipends as part of consent agenda
Summary
The Foley ISD 51 board unanimously approved a consent agenda including staff resignations (three named) with effective dates, multiple new/adjusted contracts for targeted services and paraprofessional hours, and a schedule of extracurricular stipends, at its Nov. 18, 2025 meeting.
The Foley ISD 51 Board of Education on Nov. 18 approved a consent agenda that included personnel resignations, contract changes and specified extra‑curricular pay amounts. The meeting minutes list three resignations recorded in the consent items: Nicole Kelash (FES EA), resigning effective Nov. 19, 2025; Dan Carlson (Tech Director of school plays), resigning effective Nov. 3, 2025; and Melissa Christopherson (Child Nutrition), resigning effective Nov. 10, 2025. The consent agenda was approved by a motion and carried unanimously, 6-0.
Also included in the approved consent materials were several new or modified contracts and targeted‑services positions with hourly rates and limits on hours. Examples in the board packet include targeted services teachers starting Dec. 4, 2025 (Steffenson $36.00/hr, Arnold $40.00/hr, Lyremann $40.00/hr, Brenny $29.00/hr) and an EA hourly starting step noted at $21.17. The packet lists coaching and extracurricular stipends such as Head Boys Basketball Coach Bennet Lerud at $6,921 and co‑head wrestling coaches Jacob and Justin Bowland at $6,195 each.
Board members moved through the consent agenda as a single package; no separate votes on individual personnel items were recorded in the minutes. The approval allows the district to proceed with hiring or other administrative next steps consistent with the listed effective dates and pay levels.
