The Hedley ISD Board of Trustees voted 4-1 to renew all teacher contracts during a called meeting last Saturday.
Board president James Lee Potts was absent from Saturday’s meeting, and board vice president Troy Monroe asked Trustee Cary Don Neeley to preside over the meeting, which was attended by 61 people.
Twelve people signed in to address the board, and eight people did actually address the board.
According to unofficial minutes of the meeting, no action was taken on considering a RIF (reduction in force) as proposed by the school board.
When the vote on teacher contracts came, James Edward Potts abstained because of relatives working at the district; Monroe, Neeley, Bonnie Walsh, and Blain Burton voted in favor, and Tonja Ruthardt voted in opposition.
Teachers receiving new contracts were: Lonnie Adams, Nicki Adams, Terry Collins, Tangela Copelin, Sally Gray, Debbie Hill, K’rin Young, Bruce Howard, Cheryl Koetting, Jon Leggitt, Angie Monroe, Lyndon Messer, Linda Naylor, Jennie Owens, Timber Lee Potts, Diane Conatser, Fran Stidham, Sheila White, Patrice Wood, Pamela Prescott, Sue Robinson, Mike Prescott, and Neal White.
The board then voted unanimously to approve renewing Principal Sharon Wood’s contract for the 2009-2010 school year.
Saturday’s actions came one week after the Hedley school board voted 4-2 to propose non-renewal of Superintendent Bryan Hill’s contract.
Hill told the Enterprise Monday that his attorney was taking the necessary steps to request a hearing on the proposed non-renewal.
