WESTERN WAYNE SUPERINTENDENT FIRED, TRIAL DATE SET

(Cambridge City, IN)--The Western Wayne School Board is now just a few days into a search for a new superintendent after having fired Kelly Plank late last week.  An overflow crowd attended the meeting, which lasted all of three minutes.  No members of the public spoke.  The Board did not refer to Plank by name, calling her only Employee #172.  "It's personnel.  We don't really disclose that.  We don't talk about it individually," said Board President Kris Bex.  Alice Johnson has been appointed interim superintendent.  Plank is charged with battery resulting in serious bodily injury after an incident in New Castle last month.  Tuesday, a trial date was set for mid-September.
