Assistant hired as school’s principal

Tammie George, longtime assistant principal at Tonganoxie Elementary School, has been hired as the school’s principal.

George’s hiring was approved Monday by the Tonganoxie school board.

For seven years, George had been assistant principal at the school. In January, she was named interim principal at the school after principal Jerry Daskoski resigned mid-year because state education officials were poised to revoke his teaching and administration licenses. The licenses were revoked in the wake of shoplifting charges filed against Daskoski a year earlier in Sedgwick County.
