Principal's retire-rehire approved by narrow margin

The Bluffton Board of Education held its monthly meeting at 5:00 p.m. on June 30. The meeting agenda is HERE.

During the visitors portion of the meeting, Jessica Hermiller, Director of Bluffton Public Library, shared her disappointment with the loss of the Middle School Library. This summer, the space is being repurposed as a technology center. Ms. Hermiller shared that the Bluffton Public Library has historically supplemented the Middle School Library and now without a library in the Middle School, it may shift student needs to the Bluffton Public Library.
