HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson USD 308 School Board has hired a Director of Communications and Marketing, again. The board approved the hiring of Marissa Meis. She replaces Sidnei McCarty who resigned before even taking the position she was hired for last month.
“Marissa interviewed with us last time,” Superintendent Mike Folks said. “Last time we were very high on her."
Meis currently holds a similar position with the Topeka School District. As for McCarty, who was originally hired by the district in March, it was her refusal to work outside of the home that led to her resignation.
“Sidnei communicated with us over spring break that she would prefer to work remotely, and asked if that was a possibility,” Folks said. “We said no. As Director of Communications and Marketing we that person definitely needed to be on site.”
When asked if that would be a problem, McCarty said it would and immediately tendered her resignation. That resignation was also approved by the Board Monday night.
Folks said they were on the phone to Meis the next day and offered her the position which she accepted.
She’ll start her new duties April 19.
