Members of the CAM School District’s Board of Education, Monday evening, approved early retirement requests from two, long-time teachers. Superintendent Casey Berlau told KJAN News, one request was from Bev Johnson who teaches Business and Family and Consumer Science at the CAM High School. The other was from Peg Wheatley, 3^rd Grade Teacher at the South Elementary School. He said it’s difficult to see them go because each has over 30-years of experience.

Johnson has been in education for 36-years, while Wheatley had served for 38-years. In other business, the CAM School Board approved contracts for Barbara Coston as para-educator at the North Elementary, and Jeff Hoover, who will serve as a long-term Sub, filling-in for the vacancy created when Rex Mehrhoff passed away earlier this month.

And the Board set a Public Hearing on the 2019-2020 School Calendar as their next meeting on March 17^th. They also made some changes to the current school year calendar to account for snow make-up days. He said “Basically, we’re moving the end of Quarters to the end of March. Instead of March 17^th, the end-of-quarter will be March 21^st. March 22^nd will be a half-day for students and a half- Teacher work day.” The Board also decided school will be held the Monday after Easter, as a make-up day.
