Five Resign Positions at School
At its May 12 meeting, the GCISD board accepted resignations from Micky Baker (history/coach), Kelly Baker (business), Denice Bradbury (secondary science), Ken Hoskins (K – 12 principal) and J’Layne Kemp (K-12 PE). The board was in closed session for an hour, presumably discussing personnel, but made no mention of who will replace any of the resignees.
The board approved the 2008 – 2009 school calendar. Teachers will begin work Aug. 18, and classes will begin Aug. 25 with a holiday on Sept.1, Labor Day. There will be a holiday Oct. 6, and Thanksgiving holidays will be Nov. 26 – 28. Christmas/New Year’s holidays will be Dec. 20 – Jan. 2 and Spring Break is set for March 9 – 13. There are bad weather days on April 10 and 13, and school ends May 29.
Misty Kinnibrugh will do a summer reading program (see article, pg. 5). A summer work program at the school was also approved, with seven kids returning from last year.
School Superintendent Steve Long reported the school has spent $70,000 of its $100,000 fuel budget.
In other action, the board approved the library media coop contract for $5,150, the same cost as last year, and approved requests of 19 students to transfer into the district for the coming school year.
Current enrollment: KH – 6, 134; 7 – 8, 37; 9 – 12, 79.
