Hours later, the applause at Waynedale Elementary School was immediate when Superintendent Mark Daniel joined an outdoor assembly to congratulate fourth-grade teacher Nikki Fultz the FWCS Elementary Teacher of the Year.
Three other elementary and four other secondary school teachers were Teacher of the Year finalists.

Pandemic puts health administrator in top 25
JIM CHAPMAN | The Journal Gazette
Mindy Waldron s salary is usually not among the top government-funded salaries in Allen County.
As county health department administrator, Waldron s base pay was $100,917 last year. But because of the coronavirus, the county commissioners and County Council approved extra pandemic pay for Waldron and others.
That pushed her salary to $191,114 in 2020, ranking her 13th on the list of the county s publicly funded earners. The public employee compensation figures are from the Indiana Gateway for Government Units, a state internet portal providing financial information public agencies are required to file.
