GFWC-West Side promotes literacy

PRINGLE -- A third attempt to hire an automotive technology instructor for West Side Career and Technology Center failed Tuesday when the school&amp;rsquo;s joint operating committee tabled the motion for a second time.

The motion, which did not include the name of the candidate, was first tabled Sept. 22. Later that same meeting, Wyoming Area representative Nick DeAngelo proposed a candidate for the position, but that second attempt to fill the position failed by a 6-3 vote. 
The committee then recessed until this week. But after a 40-minute executive session during the reconvened meeting Tuesday, the committee once again tabled the motion to hire the auto tech instructor. Committee members did not comment on the reasons for the tabling at either meeting.
Administrative Director Elizabeth Ellis said the position is open because current instructor Joe Barush accepted a position as a co-op instructor. She said Barush continues to teach the auto tech courses while the co-op program is operating with a short staff.
In other personnel matters,  the committee: approved the appointment of Joseph Shaughnessy as in-school suspension monitor at $65 per day plus benefits; added Robert Angelo to the teacher substitute list; accepted the resignation of Robert Carey as network security instructor and approved posting that position.
