Board sets Athletic Director's salary at $65,000 after recorded vote
Summary
At its Jan. 13 work session the Marion Center Area School Board moved to set Tyler Shilling's Athletic Director/Athletic Trainer salary at $65,000. The motion was recorded as moved by Ms. Young and seconded by Mr. Moretti; the minutes include inconsistent vote tallies that the board minutes do not reconcile.
The Marion Center Area School Board approved setting the salary for Tyler Shilling, Athletic Director/Athletic Trainer, at $65,000 at its Jan. 13, 2025 work session. A motion to set the salary was moved by Ms. Young and seconded by Mr. Moretti, and the minutes record individual member votes and an overall tally.
The minutes list individual votes as: Beatty Yes; Glasser Yes; McMillen Yes; Dicken Yes; Hankinson Yes; Young No; Farmery Yes; Moretti Yes; Sacco Yes. Immediately following that list the minutes state: "Aye: 8 Nay: 0 Abstain: 0 Absent: 1." The same minutes elsewhere list nine named board members in attendance, and the written vote tallies are inconsistent with the line-by-line votes. The minutes do not identify which member was absent or explain the discrepancy between the listed individual votes and the final tally.
Board policy and standard practice call for clear roll-call tallies when votes are recorded. The board's written minutes show the salary action and the specific salary figure that will govern Shilling's compensation; however, the minutes include an internal inconsistency in the vote record that the board has not resolved in the published minutes. The motion text as recorded: "set the salary of Tyler Shilling, Athletic Director/Athletic Trainer at $65,000" was adopted as presented in the minutes. The board adjourned to executive session after completing the agenda.
