A new position has been created in a local school district.

According to Superintendent of Mt Pulaski Schools, Jason Spang, the district previously had two instructional coaches, but now they will be operating with a district-wide curriculum director. 

Spang says it's a necessary role to work alongside the principal and take some responsibilities from the principal's plate. 

Mt Pulaski schools also recently hired a new social worker and counselor in the buildings.
