The Alma School District board reorganized leadership and cleared several administrative actions at its Feb. 12 meeting. The board elected officers by voice vote, approved a clean FY25 audit, adopted salary schedules for staff, approved recommended hires, and accepted a retirement letter from Dr. Brian Duffy.
Board members moved quickly through routine business at the start of the meeting, electing a president, secretary and vice president by voice vote. Later under new business the board accepted the district audit for fiscal year 2025; the board was told the audit contained "no supplemental or material findings." The board approved acceptance of the audit report by motion and voice vote.
The board also approved proposed salary schedules covering teachers and classified staff as presented (pages 61–76 of meeting materials). The motion to adopt the schedules passed by voice vote after a second.
After an executive session, the board read and approved a set of personnel recommendations. The board approved the hire of Abby Boster as counselor at Alma High School; Sarah Hubbs as media specialist at Alma High School; Samuel Vaughn as a teacher and assistant football coach; Richard Snyder as a teacher and assistant football coach at Alma High School; Jordan Dugger as junior-high head football coach; Trinity Myers as a Spanish teacher at Alma High School; and Trey Pryor as high-school assistant principal. A motion to approve the recommendations was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The board also moved to accept a retirement letter from Dr. Brian Duffy; that motion was seconded and approved. The board then adjourned.
The meeting record does not include roll-call tallies for the votes; approvals were recorded by voice vote ('aye').
