ANGOLA — The Angola Teachers Association delivered concerns over MSD teachers’ pay, workload, and children’s deteriorating behavior to the Metropolitan School District of Steuben County at a public hearing Tuesday
ANGOLA â If there was any reminder of what tourismâs impact on Steuben County was like before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it was the Fourth of July weekend.
Some are saying it was as busy as ever, with thousands of visitors out on Steuben Countyâs lakes, dining in restaurants, shopping and staying at hotels.
Perhaps the biggest indicator of a huge holiday weekend was Pokagon State Park where it was estimated some 15,000 people visited from Friday through Monday, based on gate fees and park pass use. Thatâs the maximum social carrying capacity at the park, said June Julien, executive director of the Steuben County Tourism Bureau.
ANGOLA â The Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan School District of Steuben County unanimously approved using the services of University Superintendent Search Team to find a replacement for outgoing Superintendent Brent Wilson in a special session Thursday.
Board president Cory Archbold explained that the education departments of the teamâs four Indiana public universities specialize in the training and education of superintendents and the team helps conduct background and internet checks on candidates.
âThey help in recruiting, reviewing, and going through â letâs say, thereâs a hundred applications for a position. They would take and start whittling those down and doing reference checks,â Archbold said. âThey do a lot of that, far more than any of us can do and have the time to put into that type of thing.â
