Change orders take contingence used to 68%
The new change orders approved by the school board Monday night took the usage of the contingency fund to 68 percent. Superintendent Joe Schwan said that most of the change orders should be done by now with no big ticket items expected.
Tara Arntsen was hired as the new math teacher. Jenna Strom was hired as the new assistant volleyball coach. Jone Groeblinghoff was reassigned from SPED to kindergarten paraprofessional.
No new boys head soccer coach is on the horizon. Schwan said that Corey Harder and Chris Kucker, the girls coaches, will do both if no one steps forward. Also still missing is a junior high football coach. All other positions should be lled soon after interviews are done. “We should be in pretty good shape,” Schwan said, “with six weeks out for our staff.”
