Holland’s Resignation Accepted
The Glasscock County ISD school board accepted counselor Jan Holland’s resignation with regrets at its April 11 meeting. The district will immediately open a search for coaching, computer teaching and counseling positions.
The board approved both a 2005 – 2006 school calendar and an early start date waiver (2005-06) allowing school to start Aug.15, five days earlier than the date set by the state (after holding a public hearing, which no one from the public attended). The board also cancelled the board election previously scheduled for May 7, since there were no contested positions. Karla Hoelscher and Kevin Hirt filed for the two available at-large positions.
The board approved an agreement by the Texas Association of School Boards to enter an electricity pool if current Texas Utilities rates get too high.
