Sparta school board cuts staff to trim expenses
The Sparta school board issued several reduction in force notices to staff, including aides Katie Jeffers and Kristine Kessler, various cooks, and a probationary high school English teacher Jessica Thomas. Several positions were eliminated or restructured as the district plans budgeting for next year, with recalls possible. Also approved were curriculum changes and senior graduation credit and GPA based honors, with graduations set for June at Lincoln middle, Evansville attendance center, and Sparta high school.
