Board President Jeff Stout talked with our Nick Paton about the boards decision and says they feel he’s doing an excellent job and they are very happy with the direction the district is going. Several staff were also recognized by the board, including Robert Phipps, custodian at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School, who has worked in the district for 18 years. Cain says that students always look forward to seeing “Mr. BOB” as he’s known around the school. Athletic Field Manager Brian McDougal was acknowledged for his management of the school districts athletic fields, including Memorial Stadium.
