The Winslow Unified School District Governing Board approved the hiring of two crossing guards during their monthly meeting last week. The guards will be placed at the intersections of Williamson Avenue and Gilmore Street as well as North Park Drive and Mahoney Avenue. The guards are Austyn Mattox and Samantha Cox. The vote to approve was unanimous in the absence of Board President Sharon Greenwood.
Also approved for hire by the governing board were Judith Bostwick, Kerenza Ryan and Linda Mileham, as substitute teachers; Darrin Mitchell, volleyball coach; and Eugenia Natoni, special education classroom aid. The resignation of Michael Magallanes, bus driver, was approved.
In other business, the governing board:
Approved changes to the certified salary placement schedule and the extra duty salary schedule. The changes reflect compensation for additional academic growth; the addition of a swim team coach position; and the removal of the Speech and Debate, and Victory with Honors coaches positions.
Approved ratification of vouchers in a routine procedure allowing the district to submit vouchers to the County School Superintendent between board meetings.
Approved the cancellation of the Sept. 6 board meeting due to the fact that administrators and some board members will be attending the Arizona School Board Association Conference.
The next scheduled meeting of the Winslow Unified School District Governing Board will be at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20, in the district office, located at 800 N. Apache Ave.
