SAULT STE. MARIE The Sault Area Board of Education has made the decision to hire Craig MacDonald as the new career and technical education automotive teacher for the Sault Area Career Center.
The previous automotive teacher who had worked there since 2004, Timothy Strader, was placed on leave after facing multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct. We had only one applicant for the position . and his references were outstanding,” said Dr. Tim Hall, superintendent of Sault Schools. “It is very difficult to find qualified people with this particular certification, so we feel we are very lucky to have him join our team. We’re very pleased to have found an experienced, qualified teacher for this program.”

SAULT STE. MARIE The Sault Area Board of Education voted on Monday to hire three individuals for employment for its district.
Megan LaRocque is working at the Sault Area Middle School as an eighth grade English language arts teacher. She started her position at the end of February. LaRocque took over for Andre Fortin, who transferred over to the high school last semester.
Even though LaRocque already started her employment at Sault Area Middle School, superintendent of Sault Schools Dr. Tim Hall explained that in hiring situations, there are times when the immediacy of the vacancy requires it to be filled as quickly as possible. In these instances, a special board meeting is not called to hire just one or two people. Hall explained that the board has a thorough interviewing and vetting process. As a result, there are times where the board will officially hire someone after they have already started.
