Five hundred Hobart school support staff—nurses, secretaries, cafeteria workers—will be paid for eight missed days due to the August 11 derecho storm that knocked out power and disrupted the start of the school year. While teachers typically get paid for missed days, these essential non-teaching staff often don’t, but the school board made an exception, recognizing they had no control over the situation. Superintendent Peggy Buffington stressed their vital role in keeping schools running and noted the district is seeking a state waiver for the lost days, though approval is pending. The school year officially begins August 24, with potential calendar adjustments to make up instructional time. Meanwhile, the board also approved drainage improvements near Liberty Elementary, showing commitment to both infrastructure and employee support during tough times.
