There will a new face teaching students at Elgin Public School beginning in January.
At last week’s meeting of the District #18 Board of Education, the board approved the hiring of Norfolk native Hailey Buss for K-6 special education duties at the start of the second semester.
“We got lucky,” K-12 Principal Greg Wemhoff said, noting how the school had been short a person to perform those duties.
She currently resides in Kearney.
On another matter, the successful coop of athletics between EPS and Pope John XXIII Junior-Senior High School will continue.
The board voted 4-0 (board members Steve Busteed and Luke Hinkle were absent from the meeting) to continue the coop program for 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 school years.
In other action:
Bargaining agent — The board formally approved the Elgin Education Association as the bargaining agent for the 2025/2026 school year.
