The Hanover Area School District Board of Education convened on August 12, 2025, to address various personnel matters and make key appointments for the upcoming school year. The meeting began with the approval of personnel items 1 through 11, which passed without discussion.

The board then moved to item 12, where a correction was made regarding the appointment of safety police officers for special occasions at a rate of $35 per hour, confirming that this was not an increase in pay. A motion was made by Mrs. Blaich and seconded by Mr. Stevens, leading to a unanimous roll call vote in favor.

Items 13 and 14 were addressed next, with a motion from Mr. Warwick and a second from Mr. Stevens. Both items passed, although Mr. Majer abstained from voting on item 14.

The board proceeded to item 15, appointing Julia Franks as an elementary teacher with a salary of $155,743, effective August 20, 2025. Mr. Stevens motioned for the appointment, and Mrs. Blaich seconded. The superintendent clarified that this was a replacement position, not a new one. The motion passed unanimously.

Item 16 involved the appointment of Carrie Ann Mike Bukowski as a reading specialist at a salary of $66,643, also effective August 20, 2025. Mr. Majer motioned, and Mr. Holmgren seconded, with the motion passing without opposition.

The board then tabled item 17 following a motion from Mr. Hyder and a second from Mr. McDermott, which also passed unanimously.

Items 18 and 19 involved the appointments of Lidi Anger Angarita and Madeline Mishkhari as paraprofessionals at a rate of $20 per hour, both effective August 20, 2025. Both motions were made and seconded, with roll call votes confirming their passage.

Item 20 saw the appointment of Joseph Steininger as a hall monitor at the same hourly rate, which also passed unanimously.

Finally, the board addressed item 21, appointing Daniel Malloy as the superintendent of schools with a starting salary of $155,000, effective 90 days from the meeting date. The motion was made by Mr. McDermott and seconded by Mr. Orvick, with all members voting in favor.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for public comment, although no members of the public chose to address the board at that time. Overall, the meeting was marked by a series of personnel appointments and confirmations, setting the stage for the upcoming school year.
