Milton-Freewater board approves consent agenda, hires and coach contracts
Summary
The Milton-Freewater Unified SD 7 board approved its consent agenda and a series of personnel and contract items, including assistant coach contracts for Mac High, acceptance of a staff resignation and three certified hires. The board also declared a wheelchair-accessible bus surplus to offer to neighboring districts.
The Milton-Freewater Unified SD 7 board voted to approve its consent agenda and a slate of personnel and contract items at the meeting.
Superintendent presented a donation for Max High FFA from Tyco Body and Paint and recommended two assistant coach contracts for Mac High football, naming James Powell and George Estrada. "We recommend named James Powell. He assisted, volunteered last year. A lot of good energy," the superintendent said, and the board approved the contracts by voice vote. The board also accepted the resignation of Mark Martinez and approved three certified hires, including Kayla Gibson (maiden name Radha Garros) as an elementary teacher mentor and Emily Holden returning to the shop program. The superintendent moved to approve the hires "as presented," and the motion carried.
The board declared Bus No. 3—which has wheelchair access and has been retained as a spare—surplus and agreed to offer it first to the ESD and then to neighboring districts that may have need of a wheelchair-accessible spare bus. In other business the board approved a renewal of the Communities and Schools contract for the 2026-27 school year after a brief discussion about how that program differs from the county care program, which provides different services. Committee member Amanda noted the contract helps connect families with food banks and outside services.
The meeting concluded with routine scheduling items and a reminder of the next regular meeting date.
