With the district being on winter break of most of this past week, things were pretty quiet. However, the one piece of news that broke was significant…Tina Cassens is leaving the district after being here 28 years. This is shortly after Del Garrick made a similar announcement a couple weeks ago. The loss of these two well loved and experienced educators is a huge blow to this school district and undoubtedly a sign of more to come.
