~ A brief overview of the T-U Board of Education meeting for our school system employees ~
1) Personnel changes from last night’s BOE meeting include:
a) ULMS PE teacher Ellen Foy will move to the ULSE, where she will take the open
physical education position at that school. Congratulations to Mrs. Foy! (Job transfers
within a single school do not have to be approved by the BOE. Therefore, the following
was not on the personnel agenda at last night’s meeting, but is a result of Mrs. Foy’s
transfer: Jeff Wheeless will take over the open PE position at ULMS. Mr. Wheeless is
currently a Special Ed co-teacher at ULMS. Congratulations to Mr. Wheeless!)
