The Carmel Clay Schools board recognized employees for milestone service and retirement at its meeting, with Dr. Herrera introducing the service-award and retiree segment and calling staff forward for certificates and photos.
Employees with 20 years of service were recognized first and were to receive a certificate and a $100 Amazon gift card; staff names called included Jamie Authier, Amy Bannister, Aaron Boyce, Carrie Brown, Laura Cardamon and many others. Staff with 25 years received a certificate and a $125 gift card. Employees with 30 years were recognized next and will receive a $150 gift card. The district highlighted an employee with 40 years of service, John Hoff, who will receive a certificate and a $250 gift card.
The meeting then moved into retiree recognitions, when the district read biographical notes for dozens of retirees across roles and buildings. The board honored Principal Kelly Davis (Woodbrook Elementary) for 26 years of service and described her previous roles at other district schools. Other retirees acknowledged included department chairs, long-serving special education staff, classroom teachers (examples named in the remarks: Ann Mayhew, Jenny Gossett, Cynthia Henry), program directors (Karen Possel of EduCare), and support staff in transportation and facilities.
Most retiree mentions included years of service and brief summaries of contributions; the item was ceremonial and did not include board votes or changes to district policy or budgets. The board closed the recognition portion with applause and photographs.
