Board approves multiple staff appointments, one advanced retirement notice and a title change
The board approved a slate of professional and support-staff recommendations and accepted an advanced retirement notification during the personnel portion of the meeting.

The board approved an advanced retirement notification for Roxanne Gordon, Genesee County High School, with the retirement effective at the end of the 2027–28 school year, as read by a staff presenter. The board also approved a title change for Mandy Sullivan to Secondary Programs and Adult Education Director.

Professional-staff hiring approvals included the appointment of Paige Ormsby to Sand Creek Elementary (pending hiring requirements). Support-staff approvals included Alexa Voigt as Jennings County Middle School administrative assistant; Thomas Mellencamp as assistant boys football coach; and Sarah Piatt to move from a Sand Creek paraprofessional role to an administrative assistant position. The board also approved several pending hires contingent on meeting hiring requirements: Kylan Higgs (JCHS administrative assistant), Cassandra James (bus driver), Emily Robinette (nurse), Callie Wilder (volunteer tennis coach) and Holly Woods (bus driver).

Board motions were made and seconded for each approval and the meeting record shows unanimous voice votes (recorded as “all those in favor? 6 0” in multiple instances). The board’s personnel approvals were routine and no discussion was recorded beyond the motions and seconds.
