Several vacant positions were filled at Henryetta school Friday morning.
At a special board meeting, Shantell Cox and Andrea Dawson were hired as elementary teaching assistants; Kelsey Wright as an elementary paraprofessional; Ericka Donathan as a bus driver; Cassandra Thompson as elementary Indian education cultural teacher and Scott Wilde as the new middle school math teacher.
During the special meeting, board members gave their approval to apply for grant money to fix the roadway on the campus.
The funding would come from the third round of funding through Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER).
Superintendent Dwayne Noble said if the school receives the funding, the roadway from the bottom of the hill by the elementary all the way to Warren Road would be repaved.
“We had to submit the minutes of our meeting showing we want to apply for the money,” he said. No date was set when approval would be given for he project.
