Board approves multiple hires, accepts resignations and a retirement
Summary
The board approved several hires (custodial, substitute, bus driver, instructional aides, MC Cyber instructor), accepted resignations from multiple instructional aides, approved a retirement effective Oct. 31, and granted paternity leave for an employee.
The Marion Center Area School Board approved a range of personnel actions on Oct. 27, including hires, substitutions and leaves. "It was moved by Ms. Young seconded by Mr. Hankinson to hire Joseph Rupert as a 7-hour McCreery Custodian as indicated in MCESP bargaining agreement be approved as presented," the minutes state; that motion and multiple others passed 9-0.
The board added staff to substitute lists, approved unpaid leave for Savannah Santiago (Sept. 26–Oct. 1, 2025, plus follow-up appointments), hired McKenna Bothell as a long-term Life Skills substitute (pro-rated salary $32,500 with single benefits), and approved Helen Schall as a contracted bus driver. The board accepted resignations from Karissa Dowell and Kevin Dunmire (both listed as RY Instructional Aides) and recorded a resignation notice from Kevin Oswalt; the minutes contain a clerical repetition in the motion text that repeats another name when moving the Oswalt item. The board also accepted with regret the retirement of custodian Gary Kanouff effective Oct. 31, 2025, and approved hiring Kevin Dunmire as an 8-hour custodian at Rayne Elementary, plus instructional aides Madison Heckman and Linnea Martin. All personnel votes were recorded as unanimous.
