Teacher moves
The Oakwood school board on June 14 approved a reduction in teaching staff for next school year, suspending the contracts of elementary teachers Katherine Herms (full-time) and Amy Fultz (half-time) and choosing not to replace a departing kindergarten teacher. Superintendent Mary Jo Scalzo cited a projected decline in enrollment as the reason for the reduction.
The district did hire replacements for other teachers, leaving the total reduction at 2.5 positions. Abbie Hartge was hired from Brookville High School to teach high school chemistry and physics, Jennifer Gabbard was hired from Miamisburg to teach high school art and Katherine Spotts was hired from Lakota schools to teach Spanish.
