Greetings,
It has been a busy few weeks for the Somers School Board of Trustees. However, our superintendent search has paid off.
We are pleased to announce the hiring of Superintendent Alex Ator. Mr. Ator was selected from an experienced field of candidates. He rose to the top of the field because of his prior service to Roberts Public School District in Montana, as well as his qualifications. We welcome Mr. Ator to the Somers School District team and look forward to meeting him and his family.
The Board of Trustees met for the monthly meeting on February 24th. A quorum was present and standard business was completed, including the approval of the January minutes, expenditures, and payroll for end of January and beginning of February.
The Curriculum and Extra Curricular/PR-CP committee met to discuss adding new library and curriculum books to the inventory. Recent changes in Montana law have given some oversight to the Board of Trustees. It was decided that guidelines be established to give an excellent foundation for moving forward in the future.
The Board of Trustees acknowledged the resignation of Somers Middle School Math teacher Katherine Becker. The Board would like to wish her well in her future endeavors.
The Board of Trustees also acknowledged the hiring of three paraprofessionals. Jaidyn Reece, Onica Alford and Marlene Turner.
Welcome to the Somers School District team. We wish you all great success in all you do.
