Um at this time I would like to announce that uh Amy Barney will remain as the interim super sorry principal at um Thunderbolt Middle School and we are thankful for her service. she has done an amazing job um being there and uh so we're thankful that she has agreed to continue to stay in that role at this time and then also the board would like to address um the current uh where we are currently but Dr. Skinner and Matt do you want to speak I I'll let you but I just we're moving into uh 4.0 announcements off of the yeah standard agenda. So the other day this board um came out
003and we voted to bring Dr. Stone back and or announced Dr. Stone was back after she had reached out. Dr. Stone had reached out and said, "Hey, I'm returning as superintendent." Uh Dr. Skinner was here um solely to serve as interim superintendent. Um she does have a contract with the district until September. Uh that contract is still in place. She is now um working under Dr. Stone. She is no longer an employee directly of the board but of the superintendent. And um so we just want to clarify questions of the community that we have not bought out her contract. Um she has not been terminated and we are thankful for the time that she did serve uh this district and this community and um she came and served in a in a difficult period for
004our district and um so we are we are thankful for that. But we are also thankful to have Dr. Stone back and uh and just I'll just say because we you know, Dr. Skinner came in and did the best that she could in a very hostile situation. There was a lot of conduct towards her that I thought was inappropriate. Um, and so she she tapped it out as best she did. I this lateral under Dr. Stone. I hope uh that we can work with her to get our, you know, more aligned with the state standards. She has knowledge, has has things that we can definitely benefit from, and hopefully uh Dr. Stone, we can work with her through her contract in September to improve the district. Um, we are very sorry that how things all
005worked out with the hubhub and all that, but we do think that this is the best uh way to fulfill her contract, have her give benefit to the district and and move forward in the best most amable way. Thank you, Mr. Gisha. Anyone else? All right. Uh, at this time, a motion to adjurnn. A move to adjourn. A second. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Have a great day.
