While the Hancock County Board of Education continues to go into Executive Session to discuss the Mick vs Hancock County Board case, no action on the issue was taken at Monday’s meeting.   The current Board voted 4 to 1 to appeal the Administrative Law Judge’s ruling that the Human Resource Director position be rebid after one of the candidates, Oak Glen Principal  Alysa Mick was, filed a grievance.  The ruling found that Superintendent Dawn Petrovich had exhibited favoritism in the selection of her  close friend Sarah Parsons for the position.  New Board members Ed Fields, Gerard Spencer and Jim Horstman will take office July 1 replacing Board President Dan Kaser, Toni Hinerman and Michelle Chappell. 

      The Board recognized 26 employees retiring from the system at the conclusion of the school year.  Petrovich said that those retiring represented 325 years of service to the Hancock County School system.

      The professional and service personnel pay schedule was approved on a 3-2 vote.  Board members Rick Gillette and Michelle Chappell voted no.  Question was raised regarding the coaching supplements for various sports.  Finance Director Joe Campinelli assured the Board members that the supplements could be revisited and revised at a later date.
