Mark Twain School Board, growing, changing, moving forward ~ By, Charity Maness
Mark Twain Elementary School District’s Superintendent Kathy Northington prepares to step into the shoes of County Office of Education Superintendent, recently appointed Copperopolis Elementary School Principal Julia Tidball is getting up to speed to fill Kathy’s shoes on January 1, 2011. While two seats on the MTUESD board were up for November elections there were no challengers to incumbents Gary McGeorge and Timothy Randall. Each were sworn in at the December 11, 2010, meeting held at 6:30 at Copperopolis Elementary School, to another four year term.....
Maggie Rollings was appointed President of the Board, Timothy Randall Vice President, and Jenny Eltringham Clerk. Diane Bateman continues as the appointed committee member to SELPA.
K-3 class size reduction will remain in place for the upcoming school year and developer fees were approved for the purchase of Smart Boards in added classrooms. Smart boards, or white boards, are an interactive learning tool in use in many schools incorporating the use of a computer on a full size screen allowing for ‘dynamic and engaging lessons’ for the whole class.
Karen Vail has been appointed to Lead teacher at Copperopolis Elementary. In Julia’s absence, when attending to Superintendent duties Karen will fill the position of Principal at Copperopolis Elementary School.
