WESTERN WAYNE BOARD DOES NOT MENTION PLANK BY NAME, BUT TOUCHES ON SITUATION

(Cambridge City, IN)--The Western Wayne School Board breezed through a meeting in 25 minutes on Wednesday night with barely any mention at all of the situation with Superintendent Kelly Plank.  Plank was charged this week with battery resulting in serious bodily injury as a result of an altercation last month.  Board President Kris Bex did not mention Plank or the incident specifically Wednesday night, but it was clear that’s what he was talking about.  "We are dealing with things right now.  We do not take them lightly.  You all understand that if you approach any of us, that we will not be commenting on those things because it's ongoing and I can guarantee you that everyone at this table - and, I believe, everyone in this room - has the best interest of the students and the corporation in their heads and in their hearts," Bex said.  A cash bond for Plank was entered in Henry County on Wednesday.
