The Eastern-Greene Board of School Trustees will soon be searching for a new Athletic Director and Assistant High School Principal.

The board accepted the resignation of current AD and Assistant Principal Jeff Cochren at their meeting on Monday evening in the high school cafeteria.

Superintendent Ty Mungle said he had received a resignation letter from Cochren, who wrote that he had thoroughly enjoyed his time at Eastern-Greene.

"Cochren said the resignation was no reflection on Eastern-Greene and that Eastern-Greene was a first class organization, but he has accepted a position as assistant principal at another school," said Mungle.

Cochren's resignation will be effective on June 30.

Mungle said Cochren will be going to Heritage Hills High School in southern Indiana.

The board also accepted the resignation of Ali Meyer from her position as a high school English teacher, also effective on June 30.

Mungle told the board that Meyer also said she really enjoyed teaching at Eastern-Greene but she was accepting a position closer to her home.

Meyer will be going to Southridge High School in Huntingburg.

A slate of several extracurricular coaches to serve during the 2009-2010 school year was presented to the board and approved including the following: Paul Carter, Greg Anderson and Mike Adams, all assistant high school football coaches; Stacey Ivey, assistant high school volleyball coach; Brian Spice, girls' cross country coach; and Jim Rose, varsity assistant girls' basketball coach.

The slate was approved by a vote of 5-0-1.

Board member Shelly Patterson abstained from the vote and board member Kim Waldridge was not present at the meeting.
