Change is coming to Stanley-Boyd, following school board acceptance of personnel changes in the consent agenda at the February school board meeting.
Included in the Monday, Feb. 23 consent agenda were retirements by longtime high school social studies teacher Robert Seidl and school cook Sandi Wanish, both retiring. Wanish’s last day was Feb. 27, while Seidl’s last day is Dec. 11, 2026. The two retirements join business teacher Karen Eslinger and high school biology teacher Mary McIntire, whose retirements at the end of this year were approved in November and December respectively. Seidl was first hired full-time in 1994 after four years of substitute teaching with the district, while Wanish started Aug. 23, 1993. McIntire was hired Aug. 21, 2000 after substitute teaching, while Eslinger’s first day with Stanley-Boyd was Aug. 25, 2016.
Also in personnel changes from February School Board meanwhile are the departure of Matt Steinbach as middle school boys basketball coach and hiring of Peter Place as assistant track coach, with Allison Faulkner hired as a high school science teacher.

The family dance for elementary age students is $20 for pre-sale tickets and $25 at the door.
