VAN BUREN TWP. — The Board of Educationapproved hiring 12 new staff, including 10 teach-ers and two support staff — a counselor forMcBride Middle School and a social worker forOwen Intermediate School — at its meeting July22.
The roles of the new hires ranged fromEnglish and Spanish to music and science andinclude a math interventionist.
Shonta Langford-Greene, human resourcesdirector, said some of those hires were for new
positions, like the math interventionist, whileothers were to replace staff members who hadrecently retired or resigned.
In other business, the board approved, 6-1,spending $149,000 for 160 laptop computers forBelleville New Tech students.
Trustee Sherry Frazier voted against thepurchase.
Frazier asked when new computers for theschools would feature Windows 8 as their oper-ating system, instead of Windows 7, which wasthe operating system for the new laptops.
Trustee Kathy Kovach said her husband hadrecently purchased a new laptop with Windows
8 and they had regretted the purchase.“I’m living it,” she said, referring to the dif-
ficulties they had had with the new operatingsystem. “It’s horrible.”
Trustee Scott Russell said his employercontinued to purchase new computers withWindows 7, and Trustee Kevin English sup-ported the proposal.
