Board approves three hires including halftime school psychologist and new assistant principal

The personnel committee and superintendent presented three personnel appointments and the board approved each nomination. Taylor Bloom was approved as the EMS fresh‑start teacher after serving as a long‑term substitute; the board applauded his continued certification efforts.

The board approved the hiring of Marjorie Scott as a halftime (2.5 days/week) school psychologist to expand early‑childhood evaluation capacity and support the district’s FAPE expansion for three‑ and four‑year‑olds. Administrators said Scott will partner with existing psychology staff to reduce reliance on external contracted assessments.

The board also approved the superintendent’s nomination of Daniel Ormsby as assistant principal at Ellsworth High School after a broad personnel‑committee selection process that included community and staff representation.
