Low Turnout for Auburn Kindergarten Roundup

By John Nixon

05/12/2016

(KLZA)-- The recent Kindergarten Roundup at Auburn provided a surprise in numbers and has led to a staffing change. Superintendent Kevin Reiman says approximately 45 are registered for Kindergarten in 2016, well below the normal number.

Earlier this spring one of the current kindergarten teachers resigned to accept another job. With the low numbers, coupled with reduced State Aid, the Board has decided not to hire another Kindergarten teacher for the upcoming school year.

It appears that for the 2017-18 school year there will be more than 60 members of the class.

The Board also approved contracts associated with a new green house project at the Auburn Public Schools. The school district was earlier awarded a Nebraska Environmental Trust grant for the greenhouse project.

The Board accepted the resignation of Jessie Markovicka, high school math teacher and hired Emily Windstrand for a secondary teaching position for next year.

The Board also approved a policy, that will offer health insurance to comply with the Patient, Protection and Affordable care Act. Single coverage insurance will be offered to those who qualify under the law at the minimum rate. Additional insurance may be purchased. Those that do not qualify may also purchase insurance but pay for it out of their own pocket.
