Board accepts retirements of two long‑time Bedford teachers
Summary
The board accepted BEA retirements for Nicole Hite (Douglas Road Elementary) and Corey Burgermeister (junior high math), thanking both for long service; the motion to accept the retirements carried.
The Bedford Board of Education accepted retirements from two long‑time BEA (Bedford Education Association) members: Nicole Hite, a fourth‑grade instructor at Douglas Road Elementary, and Corey Burgermeister, a seventh/eighth‑grade math instructor at the junior high.
Administration said the two teachers announced retirements in time to qualify for a financial incentive; Nicole Hite has been with the district since 1995 and is a Bedford graduate, while Corey Burgermeister has been on staff since 1999. The administration described both as long‑tenured and valuable members of the district.
A board member moved to accept the retirements as recommended; the motion was approved and members offered personal thanks and best wishes. One board member praised Burgermeister for improving math outcomes for the speaker’s child and called the departures “big shoes to fill.”
Next steps: the district will proceed with staffing and hiring to fill the positions for the next school year.
