The Muscle Shoals Board of Education on a voice vote approved a personnel report that lists retirements, resignations, transfers, part‑time hires and supplemental pay for school staff and coaches.
The personnel report, presented by the superintendent, included retirements or resignations of Deidra Brewer (library media specialist, shared between Highland Park and Webster; effective tomorrow) and Sherry Perkins (drafting and design teacher at Muscle Shoals Career Academy; effective Jan. 1). It also listed underemployment/resignations for Sydney Pearson (elementary teacher, Highland Park) and Anna Redding (elementary teacher, Webster), both effective Jan. 2.
The report detailed reassignments: Katie Chandler will move from classroom teacher to a split math coach position serving Highland Park and Webster, effective Jan. 2; Rachel Goins will move from elementary teacher to library media specialist in a split position at Highland Park and Webster, also effective Jan. 2. Several part‑time and supplemental contracts were approved, including Ansley Barnes for the extended‑day program and Morgan Intrikan as a half‑year mentor for a new teacher.
Athletics‑related hires and pay were included. The board approved track assistant coach hires—Sarah Freeman, Nick South and Zachary Simbeck—pending background clearance, and approved additional supplements for the varsity football staff to compensate extended‑season play. The superintendent named Scott Basedon, Michael Darden and Steven Lawler among those to receive supplemental pay; supplements will be paid from football funds. Logan Pollard was listed as a volunteer baseball coach in a temporary, no‑benefits capacity.
The personnel report also included program‑specific supplements: Tiffany Stonecipher is to receive an additional $1,500 robotics supplement funded by a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) robotics grant the district received. Tim Underwood and Tony Word will continue work with the high school basketball radio broadcast and be paid from advertising funds. Sarah Mae Young is listed as a custodial substitute assigned to the high school.
Administrative corrections and temporary staffing were noted: a contract day omission for Hannah Clements was corrected in the packet, and Lynn Martin will serve as a Kelly Services library aide at Highland Park beginning Dec. 1 while the district fills the vacancy created by Deidra Brewer’s departure. The board approved unpaid leave for Kelly Lane; the personnel packet contains the applicable dates and circumstances.
The board moved and approved the personnel report by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
