At a special meeting Monday, the North Clarion School Board hired Bobbie Freeman and Jodie Burns as co-coaches for varsity volleyball and accepted Freeman’s resignation as JV coach. Other coaching hires included Wendy Dukane for JV volleyball and two cross-country assistants. With no local bids for playground installation, the board approved WillyGoat’s $23,460 offer, with equipment expected by Sept. 15.
