Wilson noted that Holloway’s departure was a “win-win situ ation” for both the superin tendent and the board. “We are moving forward in a positive manner,” he said. “If it takes 18 months to find a new superintendent, Danny has said he’s willing to serve.” Holloway noted, “Even after the first of August, I’m just a phone call away.” Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the board: • Gave Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Ron Busbee the authority to hire up to seven teachers, at an average cost of $55,000, due to increased new student matriculation. They also authorized him to hire four state-funded pre-kindergarten teachers. • Accepted the portion of its mandatory reporting policy that had been reviewed by the board attorney. Board members drafted the policy to deal with reporting of employee crimes, after a middle school teacher was dismissed earlier this year after alleged inappropriate con tact with a student.

It seemed to know exactly where to go for help.” Hospital workers gave the dog water, called a veterinarian and offered to pay the bill. “There’s no way they were going to put an injured animal back on the street,” Weigel said. Dr. Roger Ward treated the animal, and the vet said the canine suffered road burns, scrapes and an infected wound on his leg. The 7-year-old male dog has been a model patient, Ward said.
