The Pleasant Valley School Board approved filling the position of coordinator of child accounting at its meeting on Thursday. The position has been vacant.

School Board President Susan Kresge said current employee Lauren Nelson was selected for the position. She has been working for the district as an accounts payable bookkeeper, but that position will not be filled with anyone.

Nelson’s new position will pay $55,000 per year and will be prorated for the remainder of this school year, Kresge said.

The position was approved unanimously by the board.
