ELKINS — The names and positions of all the employees slated for RIF (reduction in force) hearings on Monday evening have been released by the Randolph County Board of Education.

Hearings for staffers who have received RIF letters will take place Monday through Thursday at the BOE office, beginning at 5 p.m. each evening. The hearings will take place in the Elkins High School theatre.

Employees who receive a RIF letter can request a hearing and also speak to Board of Education members during RIF personnel meetings.

The BOE will vote on all the RIF recommendations at the end of Thursday’s RIF hearings, a BOE representative told The Inter-Mountain Friday.

Professional personnel on the agenda for RIF hearings on Monday include:

Tina Cooper, an Options Pathway teacher at the Randolph Technical Center, is slated to be transferred.

Debra Berdine, a Business Education teacher at Elkins Middle School, is slated for termination.

Jennifer Mendelson, a Science teacher at EMS, is slated for termination.

Willliam Aleshire, a Social Studies teacher at EMS, is slated for termination.

River Pappas, a Social Studies teacher at EMS, is slated for termination.

Declan McGill, a Physical Education/Health teacher at Elkins High School, is slated to be transferred.

Susan Guillembet, a Math teacher at EHS, is slated for termination.

Morgan Sands, a Math teacher at EHS, is slated for termination.

Gerald Auvil, a Science teacher at EMS, is slated to be transferred.

Emily Poss, a Science teacher at EHS, is slated for termination.

Service personnel on the agenda for RIF hearings on Monday include:

Jerry Catlett, a Custodian III at Harman School, is slated to be transferred.

Jessica Isner, a Secretary II/Accountant II at TVMHS, is slated to be transferred.

Anita Gammon, the Coordinator of Transportation at the County Office, is slated for termination.

After the Randolph County Board of Education voted in January to not close the Harman School, and the proposal to close the Pickens School was dropped, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Shawn Dilly warned county employees that potentially 32 positions could be eliminated in order to achieve a balanced budget for the 2025-26 school year.

Officials have said more than $2 million will be needed to fill the counhty school system’s budget shortfall.
