We think that Amber will be an excellent addition to the Business Office and the district administrative team, and that she has a bright future in her new role."
Kitchenman's Assistant Principal position at Truman has been posted and widely advertised. Interviews will commence shortly in order to identify an administrator to join Truman Principal Jon Craig's team for the opening of school in September.
