(KNZA)--Prairie Hills USD 113 Assistant Superintendent Dr. Volora Hanzlicek is resigning at the end of the current school year.
Superintendent Todd Evens says the Board of Education accepted her resignation Monday evening as part of their consent agenda.
Hanzlicek is resigning after 17 years with USD 441 and then USD 113.
In her letter of resignation, Hanzlicek says she recently was presented with the opportunity to extend her work in the area of higher education. She says the position offers an open door for her to impact education at the state, as well as the national level.
In other business, the board discussed an offer received for the sale of an 11-acre tract of district-owned property south of the Sabetha High School practice football field. An offer of $9,600 an acre for a total of $105,600 was received from Sabetha Community Housing Development LLC. Evans said the proposal was rejected and the board voted to submit a counter offer of $15,000 an acre for a total of $165,000 with the district sharing the closing costs.
Evans says the Board approved adding a half-time math teacher to help with learning interventions at the Sabetha Middle School. He said the elimination of a para-educator position will help provide funding for the position.
The Board also authorized Evans to advertise for a part-time registered nurse to assume the nursing duties at the Axtell Attendance Center. The district nurse position for Sabetha Elementary will be reduced to make one full-time registered nurse position between the Sabetha Elementary School and Axtell Attendance Center.
