Sulphur Springs ISD Board of Trustees approved a personnel policy change and four staff changes during a special called bard meeting Monday.
Personnel Changes
The school board, following an executive session, accepted one resignation and three new hires for Sulphur Springs High School.
Misty Nottingham resigned as the Connections special education aide at SSHS. Sadie Evans was hired to replace Nottingam.
Peter Medlock will join the coaching staff and faculty as an assistant football coach and teacher at SSHS; that position will be absorbed through attrition.
Cedrick Wright will be the new culinary arts teacher at SSHS, replacing Lauren Arden.
Personnel Policy
Trustees also approved as recommended by Assistant Superintendent Josh Williams a change to DC(Local) policy, regarding employment of contractual personnel.
The policy expands the superintendent’s responsibility. The superintendent had sole authority to make recommendations to the school board regarding selection of contractual personnel. The update delegates from school board to superintendent final authority to employ all contractual employees, except those employed in three types of positions. The superintendent would, however, inform the board any contract employees hired under his authority.
Under the policy, as updated at the special noon meeting Feb. 7, 2022, the school board would still retain final authority for employment of contractual personnel in assistant superintendent, principal and director positions.
