WB BOE holds off on treasurer hire

BELOIT – The West Branch school board Thursday night agreed to delay the hire of a new treasurer.

The board tabled the hire of a treasurer until the proposed hire can work out an exit from his current position. The board was set to hire Scott Pittman at $80,000 per year for 260 work days, with a start date to be determined.

Current treasurer Julia Rozsnyai is resigning effective Nov. 27 and the board had hoped to hire a replacement at Thursday’s meeting.

In other business, the board agreed to compensate Shane Blommel $500 to complete the boys’ soccer head coach position for the 2020-2021 school year.
