15
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:55.120
All right. Um, so our action item this morning, um, is a resolution for non-renewal of a staff contract for Jessica Armstead. Um, I have I was not here this past week, so I'm going to kick it over to Carol to kind of explain

16
00:15:55.120 --> 00:16:09.600
how this came about and why we're actually here this morning. >> Great. Um, I know there's been a lot of concern in the community about this. Uh what happened was on a Friday afternoon the staff learned that the district in

17
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:24.079
past years had not handled nonrene renewals in the correct way and a desire to do things as um per casby and state law. um we needed to um complete all

18
00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:40.160
non-renewals by June 1st and uh also those have to be done by board resolution and so the meeting as soon as we determine that a quorum of board members could be present at 8:00 a.m. on

19
00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:58.959
Monday morning, June 1st. Um we uh posted Candace posted meeting notice. Um the meeting notice initially just said non-renewal of contract and that uh basically was to try to help preserve um

20
00:16:58.959 --> 00:17:14.000
just more privacy for the staff member that is in the non-renewal. After the community was concerned about that, we changed it to reflect that it was for a uh staff non-renewal contract.

21
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:29.679
Um, and nothing nothing was intended to be last minute or hidden. That's just the way things worked out. And also, the staff member was made aware of the non-renewal on Monday. State law also says that a letter has to be delivered

22
00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:47.840
to that staff member by June 1st. So, it was essential to accomplish it this morning. >> Did you mean Friday, Carol? The staff member was notified on Friday. >> Oh, yes. I'm sorry. The staff member was notified on Friday. Yep. >> That is that anything else, Candace,

23
00:17:47.840 --> 00:18:01.840
that you would add? >> I think so. It'll be the process, >> the board's approval going forward. >> Yeah. And thank you so much for just being aware and making sure that the

24
00:18:01.840 --> 00:18:27.919
board does things um the correct way and legally. >> Um thank you for for explaining that. So um at this point we'll look for a motion to approve the resolution for non renewal. I move to approve the resolution for

25
00:18:27.919 --> 00:18:46.160
non-renewal of contract. >> I second that. >> Any discussion? >> Are we are we just reviewing what's written on this resolution or >> explain the process? What are we

26
00:18:46.160 --> 00:19:05.919
actually reviewing? It says here that we the status of the Yeah, because um the board is a board govern a policy governance board. As long as policies were followed, that's the information that we give the board

27
00:19:05.919 --> 00:19:22.640
of education unless it was um to the next step of being fought by the staff member. >> So, we're making sure the process was followed. Y >> we're not specifically evaluating any performance. >> Correct. >> Okay.

28
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:41.559
is uh in terms of process is that just to con confirm is that outlined within an administrative policy manual or what is that? >> I don't know the exact policy but I know because I've been as a I've been through this process as a principal before. Mhm.

29
00:19:47.440 --> 00:20:03.280
>> I should actually read the resolution. Sorry, I messed up. Need more coffee. Uh, so I'll read it. Uh, the official resolution. So whereas the board of education of local park school districts had has reviewed the status of Jessica

30
00:20:03.280 --> 00:20:20.400
Armstead and has duly considered the matter of remployment of said teacher for the 26uh 27 school year. Now therefore, be it resolved that Jessica Einste uh not to be offered a contract for the 2026 2027 school year and be it

31
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:37.200
therefore resolved that the superintendent of schools or the superintendence me is hereby directed to give timely written notice of said with non-renewal to the teacher 2026. I mean I just have a question like in

32
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:54.240
the future if there are multiple will they all be on the same resolution or separate? >> So per and I can get clarification but on the CASBY um resolution sample it just said insert teachers name here. So if there were multiple um they could be

33
00:20:54.240 --> 00:21:09.760
listed out >> and in the future we will not be waiting until June 1st. We I believe we will be setting a a deadline and I don't know if it was in our prior staff handbook that got revamped, but Karen and I will be

34
00:21:09.760 --> 00:21:34.400
