Two Ontario School District administrators have accepted new employment positions outside of the district.
May Roberts Elementary associate principal Roberta Barnes will fill the position of principal at The Groves Elementary in the Greater Albany School District.
Jon Zwemke, currently OMS associate principal, will take the position of principal at Gervais Middle School in Gervais School District.
A longtime elementary teacher, Barnes has been the associate principal at May Roberts for three years.
She notes that she will miss Ontario School District and our community.
“I have been fortunate to work with the truly dedicated and hard-working staff at May Roberts Elementary,” said Barnes.
Previously a math, science and computer teacher, Zwemke became associate principal in 2005.
Zwemke cites his desire to be closer to his family as his primary reason for leaving the district.
“I wish I could pack up Ontario and take it with me,” he wrote to OMS staff when announcing his decision.
Efforts to fill the positions have already begun.
