BOURBON - Triton School Corp. opened a new position effective Monday. Board members approved hiring Dan Weaver Monday as the new technology coordinator for Triton schools.
"We had 16 applicants for the job," superintendent Rex Roth said.
A committee, comprising Roth, Triton Elementary School principal Tom Bowers, Triton Junior-Senior High School principal Ted Chittum, Hugh Rettinger and Charlie Ray, interviewed three applicants for the new position.
Roth said Weaver was the unanimous choice for the job.
"Dan has worked in our corporation and is familiar with our technology set-up," he said. "He has vast experience in hardware and software applications. He should prove to be a valuable asset to our technology situation."
Weaver said he is "really looking forward" to beginning his new job.

"I think we're ahead of where we (were last year)," board president Dave Shively said.
• Bowers said a music program, presented by students in grades two through four, will be Dec. 12 at 7 p.m.
