Burlington School Board hires two principals

 


All members of the Burlington Board of Education were present when President Terry Graham called a special meeting of the board together June 13. Those members are: April Kisling, T.J. Rockenbach, Aaron Smith and Robert Hill. Superintendent Dr. Stacey Croft and Minutes Clerk Tamre McGinnis.

Following a series of executive sessions, the board hired to fill some positions. Two of those are principal positions: Tim Bart as secondary principal and Jaden Crocker as elementary principal for the 2019-2020 school year.

Bart has a long educational career and will be moving to Burlington with his wife. He was recently inducted in to the Oklahoma Basketball Coaches Association (OBCA) Hall of Fame. Bart coached at Moore (1995-98); two years at Will Rogers (1998-00) and his final 14 years at Bartlesville. His overall record is 291-176, according to a recent article in the Tulsa World. Bart also has experience as principal. Graham said the new principal is moving to Burlington Aug. 1.

Crocker is in her third year as a sixth-grade teacher at Burlington. Graham said she will be the lower grade elementary principal in addition to continuing her classroom teaching.

The board also hired Alisha Matzke as a paraprofessional for the 2019-2020 school year. They voted to employ Jennifer Heatherman as custodian for the 2019-2020 school year.

Upon recommendation of the superintendent the board agreed to pursue implementing a three year old program and a daycare center. Superintendent Croft is talking with SoonerStart and DHS in implementing a three year old program and daycare. There has been positive feedback from the community. The programs will be a part of the school but run as a separate entity.

The board authorized the superintendent to continue pursuing the purchase of real property.

The new specs on the bus barn were briefly reviewed by the board. Superintendent Croft will talk with the architect and get the bid process started. The board will handle this issue at a future meeting.
