According to Riffle, McIntyre will be joining the staff of the Second Mile School located in the Dominican Republic and will be able to provide the leadership from here in the United States.

The board approved several personnel requests during the business portion of the meeting. Riffle said Marsha Keyser has been performing the duties in her position that are the same as a regular teacher. The board approved extending her a regular teacher contract with the exception that the corporation will not contribute to the teacher retirement fund.

Jay Grossman was reappointed to the Bourbon Library Board.

Riffle noted that they have required quarantine for several students due to the COVID pandemic. He said, “We are making sure will are following the directions of health officials.”

The board voted 5-0 to approve on first reading a policy concerning sexual harassment that is included in the Title 9 policy.
