            Here are some further details from the school board meeting that was held on May, 13 2024.

            The board approved personnel actions in their consent agenda, including the renewal of all outstanding administration contracts. This included Guy Johnson at an $117,241 annual salary, Jacob Schweitzer at $78,010, Chris McGregor at a $83,075, Katie Hoekman at $83,075, Matt Schrank at $77,005, Kevin Steckler at $35,274 and Kayli Coburn (half admin/half teacher) at $66,808. Amber Williamson agreed to coach Soccer once again for an additional $4,088 and the school has hired Nathan Scieszinski as the new PE teacher and Jr. High Football Coach for $50,254.

            The board recognized Jacob Heumiller as the Teacher of the Year, saying he was universally liked by students and staff alike, has taken on many leadership roles and is focused on the success of his students. Supt. Johnson read his nomination letter for board.

            “This guy is a team player, and he loves the kids here,” Johnson said. “He pours himself into his job every day. If you see him, make sure you pat him on the back because he’s doing great work all over the place.”

            “This (Teacher of the Year award) is well deserved, I’ve heard a lot of parents talk about him, and you can tell he really cares about the kids,” said board member Jodi Gloe.

            “From what I’ve heard he’s also taken some real leadership roles in the school as well, and earned the respect of his fellow teachers,” said board member Tana Clark.

            Next the board talked about the quote they received for the guest bleachers at the athletic complex from Mammoth Construction.
