School considers grant writer/spokesperson
Madison Local Schools is considering hiring a person to do grant writing and public relations for the district.
School board President Tim Young said the board heard a presentation on that type of position from Edgewood spokesman John Thomas at a recent board meeting.
Young said no board members spoke against creating such a job.
“I think it would be great,” Young said. “I think it’s exciting because I see a big connection piece.”
Young said Superintendent Tom York said the position would more than pay for itself through grants that are obtained.
News of the presentation caused some confusion in the Trenton and Madison communities, as people wondered whether Madison was looking to hire Thomas himself - which Young said they have no intention of doing.
Thomas said he sometimes makes presentations on his job to other school boards and has no intention of leaving Edgewood.
“No, I have no plans to go to Madison,” he said. “They’re a great district and I’ve got nothing against them, but I’m happier than you-know-what at Edgewood.”
