Though much of the attention surrounding their meetings focused on high school Principal Doug Hoster, the Litchfield School Board did address other personnel items during their sessions over the past couple of weeks.

During their regular board meeting on October 18, the board accepted the resignation of Brett Holliday, who had been serving as the Director of Building and Grounds and Transportation. They also accepted a letter of intent to retire from Rob Corso, who currently serves as the middle school Spanish teacher. His retirement will take effect at the end of the 2022-23 school year.

On October 22, the board approved the hires of Victoria Knoche and Drew Logan to complete the 2018-19 school year as High School Athletic Directors, effective immediately. These positions will be reevaluated at the end of the school year. Knoche and Logan join Louie Lang at the high school level and Lisa Schaffer, who has been performing junior high athletic director duties.

Over the two meetings combined, the board filled out the coaching staff for the high school wrestling team. Coy Davidson was hired as an assistant coach on October 18, joining his brother Chance, who was previously hired as the head coach. Last week, Mitchell Carter and Gage Agers were hired as volunteer coaches. All four were varsity wrestlers for Litchfield, with both Davidson brothers earning trips to the state wrestling tournament each year while in high school.

The next Litchfield School Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 13, at 6 p.m. in the radius room at Litchfield High School.
