Board of Education member Aaron Whitwer relinquished his position on the board, as he has been hired by the school as the head boys basketball coach.
Based on Policy 4015: Prohibition Against Employment of Board Members, a board member shall not be employed by the school district when serving on the school board. The school district will be soliciting applications to fill the open board position until June 5, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. Applications can be picked up at the superintendent’s office and the district will advertise the school board opening in FJN, on the district website and on social media. The district will also inform the Gage County Clerk of the open school board position.
School Superintendent Dr. Chris Prososki and the school board thanked Whitwer for his service to Southern Public Schools over the years as a board member.
