During business the board approved routine personnel items including acceptance of a head cook's resignation, PTO compensation for roundup staff and several coaching appointments.
Wabash City Schools recognized eight students across grades 5 through 12 with the Kathy Swan Awards on March 16, with teachers presenting each recipient for qualities such as perseverance, kindness and leadership.
Presenters described students' classroom contributions and personal resilience: the fifth-grade recipient Elliot Kova was introduced by Adrien Leland; other awarders included Mrs. Overman (sixth grade), Mr. Till (seventh grade), Mrs. Phillips (eighth grade), Mr. Bennish (ninth grade), Mr. Chip (tenth grade), Mrs. Oswald (eleventh grade) and a twelfth-grade presenter who recounted Kenyon's early graduation.
During the business portion the board accepted the resignation of Diana George, head cook at WHS, effective March 27; Mrs. Harold will temporarily assist in the kitchen while administration determines replacement steps. The board approved granting a half PTO day to several staff who worked the kindergarten/preschool roundup on March 7. The board also approved coaching recommendations: girls varsity tennis coach (name in the transcript appears both as "Brittany Kulie" and "Mrs. Gulie"), girls assistant tennis Shelby Stone (volunteer), and accepted the resignation of Kesha Wright as girls varsity soccer coach.
The meeting included additional routine announcements: congratulations to students who performed at the Wabash County Honor Band & Choir and to the middle school robotics team, which qualified for a world competition in St. Louis; reminders about staff professional development and parent-teacher conferences; and a community food partnership event with Second Harvest Food Bank.
What happens next: Administration will manage personnel transitions for the kitchen position and update the board on hiring; athletics and human resources will finalize coaching appointments and payroll adjustments.
