Tuesday, April 21st, 2015 -- 9:39 AM
-The Owen-Withee School Board discussed employment matters at their meeting last week.The board approved the retirement request of Linda Plautz, the District Title 1 Math Teacher, and Jean Gokey, the Elementary Special Needs Teacher. Linda is finishing her 39th year of teaching in the Owen-Withee District and Jean is finishing her 34th. The board thanked them for their many years of service to the kids and community of Owen-Withee and wishes them the best of luck as they enter a new chapter in their lives.
The board approved the hiring of Brian Lewison as the Assistant Track Coach. Brian replaced Belinda Stratton who resigned in February. The board also unanimously approved renewing the student accident insurance with Student Assurance Services. The premium for the 2015-16 school year will remain the same as the rate for this year.
District Administrator Bob Houts also presented to the Board the amendment that will be voted on at the WIAA Annual Meeting on April 22nd that deals with "Competitive Balance." The idea is that if a school earns enough points in a WIAA sport, they would be moved up a division. Divisional placement would be reviewed each year to determine which schools would be moved up a division.
