Summary

The Sesser-Valier board acknowledged the retirement of Special Education Aide Jana Thompson and the resignation/effect of JHS English/Language Arts Teacher Olivia Page, both effective at the conclusion of the 2025–2026 school year. The motion passed unanimously.

The Sesser-Valier Community Unit School District No. 196 Board of Education formally acknowledged two staff departures during its Jan. 29 special meeting. The minutes list Special Education Aide Jana Thompson as retiring effective at the conclusion of the 2025–2026 school year and JHS English/Language Arts Teacher Olivia Page as leaving effective at the conclusion of the 2025–2026 school year. Trustee Rounds moved to acknowledge the retirements/resignation and Trustee Lance seconded; the recorded vote was unanimous.

The minutes do not provide reasons for the departures beyond listing Thompson’s status as a retirement and giving effective dates at the end of the 2025–2026 school year. The staff list in the meeting attendance includes an entry listed as "N. Page," which the transcript does not clarify as the same person as Olivia Page; the minutes do not resolve that naming discrepancy. The board did not record additional discussion or public comment on these personnel items in the provided text.
