Dennis Fisher will remain at the helm of Platte County’s largest school district another three years. On Thursday, the Park Hill Board of Education voted to extend Fisher’s contract as superintendent another three years, through 2012. The board discussed the superintendent’s performance in a closed session meeting after the regular meeting on Thursday and then voted 7-0 to extend Fisher’s contract.

It’s Amateur Week.
