Board approves consent agenda, adopts 2026-27 calendar and several personnel actions

The Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School District Board of Education voted Feb. 5 to approve a consent agenda covering calendar adoption, personnel changes and extracurricular appointments.

Board member Megan Bosc moved to approve the consent agenda (Resolutions 1-2-2026 through 15-2-2026); Erin Seeley seconded the motion, which carried unanimously after President Ellen Johnson requested RESOLUTION 7-2-2026 be pulled and tabled to the March 5, 2026 meeting. Items approved included adoption of the 2026-27 school calendar; acceptance of Donna Ahrens’ retirement effective June 30, 2026; resignations of Andrew Edwards (effective Jan. 6, 2026) and Ashley Bevins (effective Feb. 5, 2026); and appointments of long-term substitute teachers Lindsay Monser and Vanessa McCord.

The Board also approved extracurricular assignments for the 2025-26 school year (including Mark Hitt for varsity baseball and David Bliss for varsity softball), approved volunteers (Hope Morrison, Katie Krause, Melody Loft, Ryan Johnston), and appointed Amelia Dubben as an instructional support staff substitute. "Motion carried unanimously," the minutes record.

The consent motion was made by Megan Bosc, a trustee, and seconded by Erin Seeley, a trustee. President Ellen Johnson noted the pull of one item for additional review; otherwise, personnel and calendar actions on the consent agenda were enacted without dissent. The Board adjourned after later approving Committee on Special Education recommendations and completing a second executive session.
