BURNSVILLE-EAGAN-SAVAGE

District will honor eight volunteers The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District will honor eight volunteers at an event Thursday night.

The district will host a reception for recipients of the 2009 John Coskran Volunteer Awards from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Senior Campus of the Diamondhead Education Center, 200 W. Burnsville Pkwy.

Awards go to these volunteers:

Mark Rugnetta, a student at Eagle Ridge Junior High; Ellyn Dam, a student at Burnsville High School; Maria Lopez, a parent at Vista View Elementary; Matt Bohar, a graduate of Burnsville High School; Robert Alpers, a volunteer at Neill Elementary; Avis Tilden, a volunteer at Community Education's School for Adults; Robbie Bunnell, a parent and webmaster at M.W. Savage Elementary, and Lynn Rhinevault, a teacher at Vista View Elementary.

LAKEVILLE

Integration coordinator takes new job The Lakeville School District will lose its integration and equity coordinator this summer when Todd Olson takes a new job as associate principal at Roseville Area Middle School.

Olson's work has centered on integration efforts between Lakeville and the more diverse Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district.

Assuming the Legislature maintains state integration funding, the district will move ahead with hiring a replacement for Olson as soon as possible, said Barbara Knudsen, the district's director of teaching and learning.

ROSEMOUNT-APPLE VALLEY-EAGAN

They are: Susan Almeida, a first-grade teacher at Highland Elementary; Joni Anker, an English teacher at Eagan High School; Randy Bailey, a math teacher at Eastview High School; Barb Elness, a technology communications specialist at the district office; Ann Loch, an instructional assistant at Diamond Path Elementary; Fred Mackaman, a gifted and talented coordinator at Black Hawk Middle School, and retiring Superintendent John Currie.
