The DeKalb County Board of Education met briefly Thursday night at the DCHS cafeteria.
In his monthly personnel report, Director of Schools Patrick Cripps announced that Emily Estes has been hired as the district’s school nutrition supervisor replacing Amy Lattimore who has resigned. Teresa Steele has also resigned as FS Manager at Northside Elementary School. Rachel Hernandez was granted a leave of absence as requested. The board also named an intern school physiologist and gave the okay for DeKalb Middle School Junior Beta Club Fundraisers to proceed for a planned trip to the national convention. Should the trip be cancelled due to COVID-19, the money raised would remain in that account.
