The Byron Area Schools Board of Education meets at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 17, for a regular meeting, according to the agenda posted to BoardBook.
Two presentations open the meeting: a new hires presentation and an energy bond presentation. The agenda does not include further detail on either item.
The consent agenda groups the meeting's personnel business. It lists the retirement of Matt Streeter, assistant maintenance engineer, and approval of a dean of students contract for Darci Williams.
Five resignations are listed: Aaron Villani, JV football assistant coach; Greg Turner, custodian; Leah Mosier, custodian; Heath Whitehead, middle school football coach; and Sabrina Sewell, playground para-pro and crossing guard.
Fourteen employments are listed: Eddie Melikian, band and music teacher; Stephanie Werner, athletic department secretary; Hillary Griffin, girls eighth grade basketball coach; Timothy Irwin, varsity boys basketball coach; Bryce Langmaid, JV football assistant coach; Abigail Ferguson, HS/MS ELA/social studies teacher; Vanessa Wernette, middle school counselor; Grace Mendenhall, high school ELA teacher; Sarah LaPorte, Title I para-professional; Kalisha Niska, special education para-professional; Lauren Keesler, custodian; Penny Thiebert, custodian; Arionna Smith, kindergarten teacher; and Richard Cleyman, social studies/science teacher.
Three donations are also up for acceptance on the consent agenda: $500 to softball from the 1976 state champion softball team, $283 to varsity football and varsity cheer from Union Station Smokehouse, and $750 to the high school student council from Versiti Blood Center.
The consent agenda also carries minutes and seven financial reports, including the cash flow and investments report, the general fund budget status report and check register, food service, sinking fund, trust and agency reports, and the preschool and child care report.
Under new business, the board has one action item: approval of the purchase of a van. The agenda lists no old business. Committee and administrative reports are scheduled from the policy and curriculum, facilities and athletics, and strategic planning and community relations committees; principals Stacey Johnson (elementary), Jay Schmitt (middle school) and Jason Beverly (high school); and Superintendent Brandon Chapman. A public input period is scheduled before those reports.
What happens next
The board was set to vote on the consent agenda and the van purchase at Monday's meeting. Outcomes will appear in the minutes, which are placed on a later consent agenda for approval.
