UNION CITY, MI (WTVB) – There have been some administrative changes in the Union City School District this summer.
Brandon Bruce left after serving the district for nine years in order to take the principal’s job at Hart High School in Ocean County, Michigan.
Bruce had been the Union City Middle School Principal. That vacancy was filled by Jeff Hammond, who previously served as Athletic Director and Dean of Students.
During this past Monday’s special Union City Board of Education meeting, a request to name boys basketball coach Ben Chard the part-time athletic director for the next year was defeated on a 4-3 vote.
Chard said some board members were uncomfortable with having a coach serving as the Athletic Director, but he added he respected their decision.
