The Central Valley School Board approved a package of personnel actions including new hires, resignations, an unpaid leave and athletics committee recommendations for winter coaches for the 2026-27 school year.
A board member moved to approve Jessica Stemware as a paraprofessional at $18 per hour in accordance with the CVESP agreement, effective Feb. 19, 2026, pending receipt and acceptance of required clearances. The board likewise approved the resignations of Dominic Johanenmeier (effective March 13, 2026), Amy Fuller (effective March 6, 2026) and Sandra Wheeland (effective March 9, 2026), and an unpaid leave of absence for employee ID 1596 (cafeteria prep cook) from April 1 through about April 17, 2026. The motions were seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board approved hiring cafeteria workers Melissa Jones, Debbie Hostetter and Carrie Turkel at $15.59 per hour, each pending receipt and acceptance of clearances.
In athletics business, the athletic committee recommended retaining winter coaches for 2026-27; the board accepted recommendations naming Brandon Ambrose (boys' basketball), Chris Raso (girls' basketball), Terry Giza Casa (gymnastics), Anthony Dufeld (wrestling), Brandy Miller (cheerleading) and Jamie (swimming; last name not clear in the record).
Why it matters: personnel approvals fill classroom and support roles for the district and finalize coaching assignments for the upcoming school year. Several hires were conditioned on receipt of statutory clearances.
