Civil Service Commission approves multiple school staff appointments

The Saratoga Springs Civil Service Commission voted to approve a slate of school staff appointments at its Aug. 26, 2026 meeting. Commissioner Kathy Wilson moved to approve the non‑competitive appointments and listed the proposed hires; Commissioner Jeff Altamari seconded, and the commission recorded affirmative votes.

"I make a motion to approve these non competitive class appointments," said Kathy Wilson, listing appointees including "Beth Ann Connolly as part time clerk," "Laurie Case is food service motor vehicle operator," and nominations for school bus drivers and teacher aides. The motion was seconded and commissioners present responded "Aye," and the appointments were adopted.

The commission then approved labor class appointments, with Wilson moving to appoint Beth Ann Connolly and Lynn Houghton as school monitors and Altamari seconding; the commission again voted in favor. The record shows the two commissioners who spoke voiced approval; the transcript does not record separate, named votes from every attendee.

The actions complete preexisting agenda items tied to the Saratoga Springs school staffing roster. No salary, starting date, or funding source details were specified in the public record of the meeting. The commission noted that these appointments complete the action items for the session and that further administrative business would follow.
