Winamac Middle School will have some couple new teachers. Duane Yost was hired to teach social studies, while Micah Combs will teach English/language arts, according to the list of Wednesday’s personnel items provided by Superintendent Dara Chezem.
A few current teachers were also transferred to different positions. Josh Burgess will now teach PE. Hope Rhodes will teach middle school science, while Emma Myers was transferred to an English/language arts position at the middle and high schools. Board members also approved the hiring of Elaine Krintz as a school nurse, while Jay Podell was terminated from a position with the transportation department.
