Board signs off on multiple hires, tenure and leave requests in personnel package
Summary
The board approved a package of personnel actions including summer staff, appointments (Jean Macri, Kara McKenna), tenure for Jacqueline Kuhn, probationary appointments for Richard Mathy and Michelle Black, resignations and related staffing moves. Most items passed unanimously.
The Town of Webb UFSD Board approved a series of personnel items on June 11 covering hires, tenure, leaves and resignations. Actions included permanent appointment of Jean Macri (custodian) effective July 1, 2026; summer-program hires Jacqueline Kuhn and Hannah Schoen; a 12‑month Office Assistant II appointment for Kara McKenna effective July 1, 2026; tenure for Jacqueline Kuhn in Elementary Education effective 9/1/22; probationary appointments for Richard Mathy and Michelle Black; and approval for Joan Scott as a long‑term substitute for the Kapfer leave period. Most motions were recorded as Yes–5 No–0.
The board also approved use of up to 10 sick bank days for Jolene Kapfer while she is on leave (8/31/26–11/30/26), accepted the resignation of Jennifer Savage effective June 30, 2026, and approved other summer staffing and volunteer placements. Compensation steps for probationary hires were recorded in the motions (e.g., Richard Mathy at step 23M $91,089; Michelle Black at step 11M+30 $75,147). Board minutes show these personnel items were recommended by the superintendent and approved without recorded public opposition.
Several items—appointing long‑term substitutes and approving sick bank days—were explicitly tied to maintaining instruction during planned leaves. The board’s personnel approvals position the district to staff programs and summer services ahead of the 2026–27 school year.
