The Troy City Schools Board of Education approved 10 personnel items during a called meeting on Monday.

Hires approved include:

• Kelley Moore, Troy Elementary teacher.

• Lindsey Sewell Troy Elementary teacher

• Christie Watson, Troy Elementary teacher

• Casey Cameron, Troy Elementary special education teacher

• Kanorris Davis, Charles Henderson Middle School special education aide

• Raven Jackson, Charles Henderson High School math teacher

• Samantha Kitchens Phillips, Charles Henderson High School math teacher

• Paula Hinson Shute, Charles Henderson High School culinary arts teacher

• Carrie Rice, Charles Henderson High School English teacher

The board also accepted the resignation of Jaye Robinson, Troy Elementary special education teacher.

Dr. Lee Hicks, superintendent, said he was pleased with the hires, which include a graduate of the Troy City Schools system (Phillips) and the return of the culinary arts teacher. “We’re glad to have her back,” he said. “We established a wonderful program when she is here and we expect she will pick right back up.”

Hicks said the district still needs to fill three openings at the high school: assistant principal, history teacher and baseball coach.

“We’ll be interviewing this week and hopefully have people in place soon,” he said. “We should have everybody in place before the first day of school.”
