Retiring educators made rural school a home
AURORA After 32 years of leading the Airline School, teaching principal Andy Bryan is letting go. So is his wife Beth Bryan, who came to “The Airline” in 1989 as a newly minted special education teacher. Andy tagged along as an ed tech but knew the school, as it knew him, from a stint as a long-term substitute the year before.
“I’m an ed tech success story,” Andy laughed.
The love they feel for the school shone from both as they recalled the more than three decades spent there. With a pre-K through eighth-grade student population that hovers around 45 students, it is the quintessential small rural school. But the rural Airline School of 1989 isn’t the same as the one in 2021.
