  1. A school notice says the 7–12 social-studies position was open after Tim Eaton resigned and that a new after-school site-coordinator position was funded entirely by the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant. This is direct school communication about recruitment, but it does not establish who was hired or the program's later operation.
