Greencastle school board delays decision on security officer
The Greencastle Community School Board decided not to vote on hiring a first-of-its-kind security guard for the school corporation during a special meeting Wednesday night.
The board tabled the hiring of a law and safety officer until a later date.
According to board member Barbara Bryant, the board has not yet decided when this item will be discussed.
At the last school board meeting, Supt. Bob Green said an officer would be hired to oversee security for the corporation. He thought he would have a candidate's name to present to the board for hiring by this week's meeting.
On Wednesday, the board approved personnel matters for the 2008-2009 school year.
The board approved a leave of absence for Title One Instructor Jill Gooch.
According to Green, Gooch recently had a baby and will be taking a leave for the entire school year.
LeAnn Curvin was also hired as a new mathematics teacher at the high school. Curvin was previously employed by Eminence High School and is from Terre Haute.
Heather Cantonwine was also approved as the Jump Start program instructor. Cantonwine will replace Regina Ames who stepped down from the position.
