The Rockford Public Schools Board of Education approved a slate of personnel actions during closed-session consent items, including multiple administrative appointments and an HR organizational report. The approvals included assistant principals, deans, principals and an executive director of talent acquisition.
Items approved as part of the closed-session consent included the appointment of Anton King (assistant principal, Kennedy Bridal School), Mark Oestapp (assistant principal, Jefferson High School), Suwanee Rodriguez Parham (bilingual multicultural education program administrator), Courtney Albert (elementary principal, SOAR Academy), Scott Lazar (secondary principal of special programs, Auburn), Jason Pope (executive director of talent acquisition), Jenna Guzman (dean, Rolling Green Elementary), Alexander Lawrence (dean, Summerdale Early Childhood Center), Brandy Fago (principal, Flynn), Sarah Sciro (dean, West Middle School), Katie Griffin (dean, Flynn Middle School), Natalie Erwin (dean, Whitehead Elementary), and Carrie Oscar (assistant principal, Flynn Middle School). Worker’s compensation settlements and several personnel transfers were also included in the closed-session consent package.
Board members approved the closed-session consent items 9a through 9p by roll call (recorded as four yeses and three absences). The HR organizational report (item 9q) was pulled for separate consideration, then approved with three yes votes, one abstention (Mister Carpenter), and three absences. The transcript does not record salary figures or detailed job descriptions for each appointment; those details are in the consent materials and personnel files.
