Poplar Board Rehires Administrators, Teachers
Although there are vacancies that need to be addressed by next fall, the Poplar School Board rehired administrators and teachers during its monthly meeting in March.
Building administrators rehired were John Wetsit as elementary school principal, Greg Gourneau as elementary school assistant principal, Morgan Norgaard as middle school principal, Lewis Reese as middle school assistant principal, Frank Gourneau as high school principal, Coy Weeks as high school assistant principal and Patti Black as special education director.
The school district is advertising for a middle school assistant principal. “We have a very experienced group of administrators,” Superintendent of Schools Keith Erickson said. Areas that the school district needs to fill include for food service and paraprofessionals.
The district has been looking for a middle school counselor for the past three or four years. Open teaching spots needed for next fall include a fifth-grade teacher, a fourth-grade teacher, two first-grade teachers, another high school counselor and an alternative learning instructor. The head coaching jobs for girls’ volleyball and girls’ basketball are also open.
