NORTH MANCHESTER -- Despite a large showing of community and teacher support, the Manchester Community School Board of School Trustees accepted the resignation of sixth grade math teacher Andrew Zimmerman at their April meeting.

After a personal incident occurred on March 16, Zimmerman filed for resignation of his teaching and golf coach positions at Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School. He has since asked to redact both items.

The board met in executive session Monday, April 10, to discuss personnel matters, and did not have any further discussion during the Tuesday, April 11, meeting. Both Board President Steve Flack and MCS Superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart said that they cannot comment on personnel matters. However, one board member did comment on the matter before the end of the meeting.

BZA OKs variance for Bradley Building apartments
By Joseph Slacian
 
The Wabash Board of Zoning Appeals gave Wabash Marketplace Inc. the go-ahead to create one ground-level and two basement apartments in the Bradley Building, 5 W. Canal St., in downtown Wabash.
 
The three apartments are part of 11 affordable housing apartments planned for the building, located on the southwest corner of Canal and Wabash streets.
 
WMI had to go before a special meeting of the BZA because city ordinance doesn’t allow street-level or basement apartments in the downtown area. Because of that, WMI needed a variance for the three apartments.
