(KNZA)--A new Horton High School Ag teacher has been hired.
The South Brown County USD 430 Board of Education, during their regular meeting Monday evening, approved the hiring of Jacob Chalfant for the 2020-21 school year.
Chalfant is a graduate of Atchison County Community High School, and attended Cloud County Community College before finishing his studies at Kansas State University.
He will replace longtime Ag teacher Larry Pottroff, who is retiring at the end of the current school year. Pottroff has been with the district 36 years.
In other business, Clayton Kelly with Piper Sandler and Company and Curtis Winter with DCS Services presented information to the Board on a possible bond issue to fund capital outlay projects.
No action was taken.
Superintendent Jason Cline updated the Board on the district's current COVID quarantine numbers. As of Monday, he said they had a total of 29 students and staff out due to quarantine.
Cline said the district will continue to keep Gwen Allen as a part-time high school nurse as needed through the rest of the school year.
