The North Nodaway school board approved a new assistant basketball coach at their regular meeting Wednesday after former assistant Lindsi Jackson abruptly turned in her resignation as both assistant basketball coach and girls track coach, effective immediately. The board hired Madison (Thompson) Geib as the new assistant for the remainder of the 2022-23 school year.
The board made several other personnel moves as part of the executive session. The board approved the employment of Jerald Everhart as elementary custodian, Stephanie Deleon as an elementary paraprofessional, and approved the December graduation of students Andrew Richards and Kelsey Barcus, provided that all graduation requirements have been met. The board accepted the resignation of third grade teacher Olivia Booth.
During the regular session, the board approved Tricia Fast as a substitute teacher.
Superintendent Chris Turpin told the Express Wednesday that the school had been awarded a grant of over $140,800 by the Gladys Rickard Trust to build 44 new interior doors for the high school. The previous doors are in a state of disrepair; they have too much glass and are structurally compromised. The new doors will have to measured and custom built because the building has settled over the years, driving up the costs. The new doors will allow the school to better secure the building in the event of a lockdown or an intruder, providing better safety and security for students and staff.
The board awarded a contract to Herner of St. Joseph to do the new additions at the Elementary and Middle School/High School as well as the new bus barn for $2,529,000. This is the project that was approved by the voters last Spring. The board voted to award the bid for the air conditioning to Hines Mechanical to complete the air conditioning project for $157,211.
