The North Nodaway School Board accepted the resignations of K-12 PE teacher Jess Greiman and High School Math teacher Jake Hoy at the end of the school year. The resignations mean that North Nodaway will be looking for a new junior high basketball coach and a new varsity boys basketball coach. The move creates a coaching carousel for the boys basketball team, who will see their third coach in three years next year.
The board added Jaycie Miner to the substitute teacher list.
The board hired or rehired Lexi Harger (elementary), Lindsay Eckert (elementary), Catherine Auffert (middle school/high school special ed), Troy Nally (ag), Cody Bix (science), Emily Bix (language arts), Sami Jackson (title), Cynthia Martin (librarian), Audrey Boulting (elementary special ed), Nathan Schoonover (business), Kyle Fitzgerald (music/band), Cameron Morrison (counselor), Reid Hart (social studies), Brooke McMahon (elementary), Andrew Hunsucker (elementary), Karissa Oberhauser (elementary), Mattie Rhoades (elementary), and Victor West (STEM).
