Two principal hires down and one to go for the Mid-Prairie School District.
The school board last week approved the hiring of Greg Jergens to become the new principal at East Elementary. Superintendent Mark Schneider says Jergens is currently a fourth grade teacher in the Iowa Valley School District and has been teaching for 21 years. He was selected from about 20 applicants to replace Robin Foster, who will be the new principal for West Elementary after Bill Poock submitted his resignation effective at the end of the school year to become Director of Teaching and Learning at the Grant Wood Area Education Agency.
