Joplin R-8 Board hires six teachers, approves six resignations/separations including former head basketball coach


During a closed session Thursday, the Joplin R-8 Board of Education approved the resignation and release from her contract of early childhood teacher Rachel Schnelle, as well as what is referred to in the minutes as "certified separations" of Samantha Bruner, Jesse Grace, Vivian Hays, Ashlee Horton, Bronson Schaake.

The departure of Schaake, the Joplin High School basketball coach for the past two years, came as no surprise since the district posted the basketball position opening last month and announced the hiring of Nicholas Pfeifer, who has been freshman coach last week.







Schaake had indicated in a recent social media post that he had plans to move to the Kansas City area.

The board approved the hiring of six teachers- Daisy Crawford, Renae Duncan, Ruben Galve Rivera, Heather Housh, Michelle Hunter and Desmond Williams.
