The Northern Local Schools Board of Education on Sept. 19 accepted multiple personnel changes and approved a large roster of substitutes and volunteers.
The board accepted resignations from Amanda Krofft (8th grade girls basketball coach), Kirk Washburn (high school assistant track coach), Adam Huffman (high school boys head track coach) and Angela Sheets (assistant cook, effective Aug. 11, 2024). The board also approved an estimated eight‑week FMLA/maternity leave for Jenna McCandlish to begin Nov. 19, 2024, and approved a certified contract correction placing Kathryn Stepanovich as a second‑grade teacher at Somerset Elementary, Step 1.
Administratively recommended certified substitutes (MVESC) and a long list of non‑certified hires and substitutes were approved; several appointments were listed as contingent on successful FBI/BCI background checks.
