GOISD Elects New Officers

BERGLAND – July 21, 2011

The Gogebic Ontonagon Intermediate School District held its 2011/2012 organizational meeting in Bergland yesterday.

Russ Bailey and Ann Wuorinen were reelected to the board and were sworn in at the beginning of yesterday’s meeting. The two  no sooner finished saying I do that they were elected to be office; Wuorinen was elected President and Bailey was elected Vice President for the next school year. Ed Martinson was appointed Secretary for the board and Sonny Minkin was elected Treasurer.

As is true of all organizational meetings, the remainder of the time was spent reaffirming a great deal of technical rather than interesting stuff. What banks get the deposits, who signs what, who will be the legal representatives and more…..

The regular July meeting took place immediately following the organizational meeting.
 
Marjorie Leaf, Director of Special Education advised the board that Sarah Wertenberger had been hired as a new Special Ed. Teacher in Ontonagon.

Leif also told the board also learned that a special needs student previously administered at home would be entering the Ironwood School District. The student will be requiring a one on one aide. The cost of the service will be paid by the GOISD.

Shawn Kolbus, Director of Career Tech Education, told the board that the building trades program had been reduced to a 1/3 position by Ontonagon Superintendent Gray Webber. The instructor refused to stay on at that level. The GOISD is currently paying for that 1/3 portion.

The GOISD Board members approved a tentative agreement with their union personnel.

During his report to the board; GOISD Superintendent Bruce Mayle, introduced the new Michigan Tenure Law. Mayle discussed some of the highlights of the new law. The members were given copies of the 10 page synopsis.
We will be publishing a copy for our readers later today.
