The college will create the new position of "lecturer" — a nontenured adjunct faculty member who will teach more classes than the average adjunct professor, but still fewer classes than a full-time professor. The new designation would allow lecturers to be eligible for health care insurance, officials said. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130509/news/705099867/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130509/news/705099867/ Thu, 9 May 2013 16:21:42 -0400 Itasca Elementary District 10 officials are pursuing plans to eliminate some middle school programs next year, despite tens of thousands of dollars in community donations and a much lower-than-expected budget deficit for this year. The tentative decision to cut seventh-grade Spanish, family and consumer science and a media center director at F.E. Peacock Middle School came Wednesday night during a marathon school board meeting. A final vote still must be taken to make the changes official. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130515/sports/705159943/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130515/sports/705159943/ Tue, 14 May 2013 23:06:52 -0400 The few times Christian Taugner finds himself in a jam, he always manages to find that extra gear.
