Two new teachers will be joining the Henryetta elementary staff when school starts in August.
At the June school board meeting, Jenna McGill and Gabrielle Leader were hired as elementary teachers. Leader was hired as an adjunct teacher and is expected to get her certification next month.
Board members also hired Donna Faler as the Early Childhood administrative assistant, Amanda Easter as middle school paraprofessional and Claudia Brown as special education director.
The board accepted resignations from Vanessa Dawson and Leslie Jones. Dawson will be taking a post as a teacher at Indianola. Jones has been the assistant elementary school principal.
It is going to look like a big yard sale at the Henryetta elementary and middle school later this summer.
Board members approved a four-page list of surplus items ranging from digital cameras to desks, books to chairs and a lot of in between items.
Superintendent Dwayne Noble said there are a number of text books the school received from a mistake by the publishers. “They sent us a double order on some of the books and it would cost more to send them back. We were not charged for them,” he told the board. “We hope that some of the other schools in the area would buy them.”
A date is yet to be set for the sale. All monies would be used by the respective schools for their operations. “We have two classrooms full,” elementary principal Roger Williams told the board.
All items not sold would be discarded.

A year after workers from AT&T punctured a water line at the gymnasium, the school finally received reimbursement. Noble said the telecommunications company sent a check for $10,000 to pay for the cost of repairs, a cost the school had to pay for last year.
He continued the good news report announcing over $93,000 in savings on electricity and water following upgrades throughout the system.
The school contracted with Integrity Energy Partners last year to put new LED lights throughout the school system and upgrade the bathrooms.
“They guaranteed we would save $59,000 a year and we ended up saving $64,595.” The contract with Entegrity calls for part of the savings to be paid to them by the school.
He said other savings include no longer buying ballast for the old fluorescent lights and installation of a new air condition system at the gymnasium.
