Special Vantage BOE meeting is brief

VW independent staff

This week’s special meeting of the Vantage Career Center Board of Education centered around personnel matters.

Tuesday afternoon’s meeting lasted less than five minutes and began with a public hearing regarding the retire-rehire of career technology instructor Kevin Van Oss. No one opposed it. 

The board approved one-year contractors for Emily Heck, special education coordinator; Doug Hughes, intervention specialist, and Lucas Metcalfe, sports exercise therapy instructor. An $800 stipend was approved for Metcalfe as a mentor, and Metcalfe, Heck and Hughes were approved for 3-5 additional days at a per diem rate. The board also approved JR Long as adult education fire coordinator and Austin Miller as a firefighting instructor.

One resignation was on the agenda and was accepted by the board – Wendy Baumle, sports exercise therapy instructor, effective at the end of last school year.

The board went into executive session to discuss other personnel matters but outside of adjournment, no other action was taken.

The next meeting of the Vantage Career Center Board of Education will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, August 6.
