A new fourth grade teacher, Lindsey McKinney, was hired by the Henryetta school board Monday night.
The announcement was made following a short executive session and was part of several personnel actions by the board.
Board members accepted the resignation of Patty Shaddix. She was a three-year-old teacher at the grade school.
Approval was given to designate Justin Been, Lance Beck and Ryan Swallow as adjunct teachers.
Been is to teach one class of drama, Beck three classes of world history and Swallow three classes of health and personal financial literacy.
An adjunct designation is given when a teacher already holds a state teacher certification but not in those classes.
“The state will allow a teacher up to three hours a day to be an adjunct teacher,” said high school principal Kelly Furer. “We would not want to apply for emergency certification because they are already certified she said.”
Board members tabled a decision to hire a bus driver as well as a paraprofessional for the elementary school.
