NB high school principal to retire NEW BREMEN — At its February meeting, the New Bremen Board of Education approved the retirement resignation of its longtime high school principal. Frank Borchers, who has served the school district for 22 years, is set to retire June 30. Board members also approved the resignation of Judy Baker, effective May 31. A seven-year school employee, she has served as elementary school library aide. It was also announced the board is accepting applications for the position of high school principal and middle school principal for the coming year. Applications are being accepted until March 16 or until filled. In addition, the board is accepted ongoing applications for substitute positions for bus drivers, custodians, kitchen staff and instructional aides. A number of supplemental employment con-
tracts were accepted by the board for the coming year: Chad Williams, assistant high school track and junior high track facility coordinator; Mark Shank, assistant high school track; Josh Bowersock, assistant baseball-junior varsity; Mike Holdren, assistant baseball-ninth grade; Gary Moeder, assistant softball-junior varsity; Katy McGovern, assistant grade; softball-ninth Molly Watcke, junior high track; Nita McKinney, junior high school track; Jason Lammers, assistant junior high track; Gary Jones, high school track facility coordinator; and Craig Griesdorn, high school baseball/softball facility coordinator. Several community volunteers were recognized for their service: Jeff Piper, baseball; Gary McCollum, baseball; and Brian Trego, boys bowling. As a result of the recent increase in state
minimum wage, the board adjusted the amounts it will approve for athletic and music trips: $40 for up to four hours; $55 for up to six hours; $70 for up to eight hours; $85 for up to 10 hours; $100 for up to 12 hours; and $115 for more than 12 hours. Superintendent John Basinger recommended that the board approve all-day kindergarten starting this coming school year. One additional kindergarten teacher will need to be hired. He also announced that all of the high school seniors had either passed the Ohio Graduation Test or been exempt due to a disability. The new fund drive for the New Bremen Education Foundation is set in place. Last year, 79 scholarships were awarded graduating seniors. All donations to the fund are considered charity and tax-de-
ductible. For donation information, contact Jeff McCollum at the First National Bank or John Basinger at the school. A resolution of intention was presented for a plan to place a combined bond issue and maintenance levy on the ballot to provide funds to renovate and maintain the large middle school gym. This is contingent on successful passage of the March 6 combined issue to construct and maintain a new K-8 building. In other news, the annual kindergarten clinic screening at the elementary library is set for March 21 and 22. Children must be 5 years old on or before Aug. 1 to enter kindergarten. Also, there will be a public meeting March 14 at the high school to provide the community with an opportunity to offer input into the usage of federal funds to help educate handicapped children 3-21 years old.
