In high school, Ann Linson had her eyes set on being a secretary.
âKids choose careers based on what they know,â she said Thursday. âWhat I knew was my mom was a secretary, my aunt was a secretary and thatâs what women did way back when.â
Married at age 20 to her high school sweetheart, eventually her career goals shifted, resulting in 41 years in education â the last 11 as superintendent of East Noble School Corp.
Linson took over leading East Noble in July 2010, after serving two years as assistant superintendent for East Noble prior to the promotion.
Before that, she was a business education teacher at Leo High school for eight years, taught office technology at ITT Technical Institute in Fort Wayne for five years, taught business at Homestead High School in a temporary position and then worked four years as a cooperative education and business teacher at DeKalb High School.
Commissioners want to wait on new jail
AUBURN â Two out of three DeKalb County Commissioners made it clear Monday that they do not support building a jail right now.
During their weekly meeting at the courthouse in Auburn, Bill Hartman and Todd Sanderson said they want to wait until a spike in construction costs subsides.
The commissioners have been considering a new jail seriously since January, when they chose the Elevatus architecture firm of Fort Wayne to design a jail on property at the west edge of Auburn.
âI think I can make a good decision today. In fact, Iâm not ready to raise taxes to do this,â Hartman said.
State secretary of education refers mask, vaccination questions to department of health
Unmute
AVILLA, Ind. (WPTA21) School district leaders and parents in our area have gone back and forth about whether masks should be required in classrooms.
If you were looking for a definitive opinion or guidance from the state s top educator on the mask issue, you might be disappointed. Throughout the state we are mostly in person right now. In fact, 99% of Indiana s schools are in person with most of them five days a week, Katie Jenner said.
We caught up with Indiana s secretary of education as she toured the East Noble school district s new preschool in Avilla.
AVILLA â As Indiana Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner stepped into her first room at East Nobleâs preschool at Avilla Elementary, she had the reaction everyone else seems to have â wow.
The visit Thursday afternoon started off with business, lots of good questions about how the preschool was set up, what itâs teaching and how itâs helped. But by the time Jenner made it to the last three rooms, each one filled with classes of energetic 4-year-olds, the urge to play became too strong as she mixed it up with the students checking out at the grocery register, visiting the play food truck and working on building projects.
