Superintendent Lawrence Barnes confirmed Monday that the Monday night pre-termination hearing for high school teacher Tracy Boshers has been reset for Tuesday, the same date as a pre-termination hearing for another suspended teacher, Jennifer Cowart. Barnes said Bosher's attorney had a scheduling conflict and could not attend the hearing.
Last month the Vian School Board reviewed recommendations for the dismissal of Boshers and Cowart and set pre-termination hearings. Boshers has been a Spanish teacher at the high school and middle school for over 10 years. Cowart is in her seventh year as a high school math teacher.
The two are currently suspended with pay and benefits. No details about the circumstances surrounding the hearings have been released.
School officials indicated last month that the hearings were separate from an ongoing police investigation into alleged inappropriate relationships between students and school employees.
Vian Police Chief Danny Hoover said Monday that his investigation of one of the cases is still underway. Last month Hoover indicated that a report on one of the teachers has been submitted to the Sequoyah County District Attorney's (DA) Office for review.
As of Monday morning, no charges have been filed against any school employee, according to court records.
