Community meeting

Cliff Williams / TPI Elmore County Schools superintendent Richard Dennis goes over the system’s financials at a community meeting in Eclectic.

Elmore County Schools saw a number of retirements after the last school year. It meant a lot of work for the school system to find and hire new teachers to fill many openings across the system, especially in elementary schools.

“A few months ago, I was all doom and gloom,” Elmore County Schools assistant superintendent and director of human resources Suzanne Goodin told the Elmore County Board of Education at its meeting last week. “We had more than 130 openings.”
