Sault Board of Education welcomes new staff additions
The Sault News
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.
