Murray Kellogg now serves as a part time art substitute in the elementary system while the district seeks a permanent art teacher. The move came after criticism from professionals that Kellogg lacked certification. He works three days weekly, though he previously did five, with the resignation of the former supervisor leaving the post open. Lincoln Lynch said Kellogg is doing a tremendous job and filling in until a certified applicant is found.
