N.J.-S.P. Board Fills Vacancy

A longtime North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation employee is now a member of the school board. Sheila Akers was appointed Monday night to fill the remainder of Mike Sharkozy’s term. He represents the town of North Judson on the board.

Akers taught Spanish at N.J.-S.P. for 18 years before moving into the role of library media specialist in 1993. She shifted to the role of technology director for the corporation in 2010 and served in that capacity until her retirement in December of 2015.

The board also accepted the resignation of longtime corporation business manager and treasurer Guy Richie, who has accepted a job elsewhere.

In other business, the board hired Bill Kaminski, who is a partner in the LaPorte law firm Newby, Lewis, Kaminski & Jones, LLP as their attorney. Board members also hired architectural firm Fanning Howey.
