Following an executive session under the Kansas Open Meetings Act, the Ellsworth Board approved hiring Eric Coonrod and Christina Vague and voted to terminate Jason McWilliams from coaching duties; motions carried unanimously.
After an executive session on non-elected personnel on June 8, the Ellsworth Board of Education returned to open session and approved several personnel actions.
Board Member Cynthia Edgerle moved that the Board approve hiring Eric Coonrod as National Honor Society sponsor and EJSHS assistant high-school softball coach and Christina Vague as assistant National Honor Society sponsor, and that the Board approve the termination of Jason McWilliams as head baseball and assistant football coach. Board Member Brian Rush seconded the motion, and it passed 5-0.
