Weaver, Barton leaving district at end of June
Two Cassville school buildings will be under new leadership next school year, as Eunice Thomas Elementary Principal Catherine Weaver and Cassville Middle School Principal Jimmie Barton are both retiring.
Richard Asbill, Cassville superintendent, said Weaver has served 27 years at the district, 22 as elementary principal, and Barton has been principal at the middle school for 7 years.
Catherine announced her retirement on Jan. 1, and we posted for the job internally and on the state job posting list, he said. We had several internal and external applicants and started the interview process, then moved to top candidates and worked on developing a recommendation to the board, which we made on Thursday.
