Full day kindergarten will be offered at Jac-Cen-Del.

It will be offered tuition free. Jac-Cen-Del will apply for full
day grant funding. A meeting for parents of kindergarten students
will be held on July 12 at 6:00 p.m. Letters will be mailed to the
parents of the kindergarten students who have pre-enrolled.
Leanna Phillippe will be the new Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School principal.

Elementary Education from Ball State in 1986 where she also completed
her undergraduate degree.
Jessica Steele resigned as Spanish teacher. Kelly Sprague will replace
her. An additional kindergarten position will be established. Summer
school teachers were approved.
Several recognitions were given. The Jac-Cen-Del baseball and softball
teams are Sectional Champs. Valorie Wagner competed in the state
track meet. Andrew Wagner qualified for the boy’s golf regional.
