North Clay School Board Votes to Co-op in Several Sports w/Clay City

North Clay school board members Thursday agreed to again check with the North Clay Park District whether there is interest in continuing discussions regarding a potential park district on school district grounds.

The Board designated members to talk with park district representatives on the issue.

Board members also voted 7-0 to approve a two-year cooperative agreement with Clay City School District for the high school sports of boys fall and spring baseball, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls cross country, and cheerleading with the opportunity for both newly-elected cheerleading squads to be able to cheer for the initial year of the agreement. Girls softball will remain as is, with Clay City hosting. 

The Clay City school board must now approve the proposal for there to be an official cooperative agreement.

Board members approved rehiring Cheryl Kuhlig as district treasurer for two years; hired Chad Traub as assistant technology coordinator on a 200-day contract; accepted the resignation of Megan Purcell as high school Spanish teacher; hired Vanessa Peters as junior high Language Arts teacher; accepted the resignation of Janell Farleigh as high school cheerleading sponsor; accepted the resignation of Nicole Lewis as junior high cheerleading sponsor and hired her as high school cheerleading sponsor; accepted the resignation of Bryan Harrington as high school assistant baseball coach; accepted the resignation of Jason Lewis as junior high assistant baseball coach and hired him as high school assistant baseball coach; hired Stephanie Coble as high school assistant volleyball coach; and hired Jennifer Traub and Jessica Percival as freshman class sponsors.

The Board also recognized their high school baseball team for making it to the Elite Eight of the 1A State Tournament.
