West Elk will decidedly be a different place next year. (Yeah, I know: it changes all the time. ;) )
Several teachers have resigned. They include Susan Galvan, 1st grade; Teresa Gorman, science; and Linda Shilts-Baum, music.
Both Susan and Teresa have been there for many years: 30+, I think. Linda has been there for 12 years and has been an awesome addition to the staff. In addition to music, she's led the Scholars Bowl Team, been co-director of the play and for many years led the forensics team.
There are probably other changes, but these are the ones I know of right now.
On a related note - Martin Burke continues to get good reviews as principal.
