Triton Assistant Principal To Return To Classroom

BOURBON - Glenn Weidner said this week that after 15 years as assistant principal at Triton Junior/Senior High School, he'd like to get back into the classroom. The Triton School Board approved Wagner's request Tuesday to be reassigned as a teacher at the beginning of the next school year.
Weidner served 21 years teaching in the Plymouth Community School System before taking his administrative position at TJSHS in 1989. "I've been out of it for a while, but I think it would just be fun to do something a little different," Weidner said.
Weidner also said a teaching position may allow him more time to get involved in volunteer projects and spend some time with his grandchildren. "I can still, as a teacher, be as busy as I want," he said.
Weidner said his request to the school board was no ultimatum. "I told them if it didn't work out, I'd be happy to stay in my position here next year," he said. "I thoroughly enjoy working with Triton Schools and my position here."
Weidner is unsure of what classes he'll teach next year. During his teaching years in Plymouth, he taught at the elementary, junior high and high school levels. He said he's willing to do whatever is available and he's excited to meet the challenge. "That's just kind of where I am in life," Weidner said.
In other news, the Triton School Board held a public hearing on the corporation's 2005 budget. The total advertised amount for the budget is $6,722,230, about $4,000 less than last year's advertised amount. The advertised amount for the capital projects fund is $999,800, up from last year's $937,012. However, Schools Superintendent Ted Chittum said, last year, about $200,000 was added to the advertised rate as allocation for future projects. "This year, we won't have that," Chittum said.
Chittum said rising fuel prices and the possibility of adding a new bus route affected the transportation fund total. The advertised amount is $482,900, about $25,900 higher than last year.
Approximately $92,000 is budgeted for the new retirement severance fund. State law requires the fund to be tax neutral, meaning if it affects the tax rate, money must be taken out of other funds to prevent any raise in taxes.
A budget approval hearing is scheduled for Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. at the administration building. [[In-content Ad]]
