Five Rutherford County graduates will attend prestigious United States Air Force, Naval and Military Academy at West Point; four seniors presented with ROTC Distinguished Leader Graduate Awar May 11, 2021 at 03:30 pm by WGNS
Lance Garcia was 10 years old when his father decided to enlist in the United States Air Force.
The Central Magnet senior’s grandfather did the same in the 1940s.
“They’ve been a big influence on me choosing the Air Force over any other branch,” said Garcia, who is one of five Rutherford County graduates enrolling in a prestigious military academy.
Garcia and Stewarts Creek High senior Matthew Sanders will be attending the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Grace Beane will be attending the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, while Dalton Jenkins and Aryanna Cargle have enrolled in the United States Military Academy at West Point.
The new pay scale will not lower the pay of any school nurse currently employed with RCS.
Vice Chair Tiffany Johnson made the motion to amend the pay scale to include more LPN support and allow the four nurses enrolled in an additional degree programs to be eligible for the pay step-up regardless of the July deadline.
âI donât want to undermine the role of our nurses at all, and I want our nurses to be encouraged and feel encouraged,â said Johnson.
Board members Claire Maxwell, Lisa Moore and Tammy Sharpe voted ânoâ.
Moore read from a collection of emails sent by the districtâs school nurses, several of whom described the pivotal roles they play in schools and the frustrations of the pay scale change.
