Karen Hunter-Ellis

Home School Coordinator

Karen Hunter-Ellis is the Community School Coordinator. Her employer is the LYSD. Her boss is Roger Adams. She didn't need any training for her job. Karen graduated from high school and has two years worth of college education. She got her college education from the UAF, UAA, and University of Eastern Oregon.

Karen works with both the teachers and students. She also prepares a monthly newsletter for the parents. Karen works three hours a day, five days a week. She hopes to work here until school gets out in May. The time that she spends with the students is divided evenly and she tries to work with different students.

The responsibilities of this job are to prepare a community newsletter, work with the students and teachers who need her, and to help the students on the IBM computers. The best thing about Karen's job is that she works only three hours a day. She said it's the best part because she doesn't have to get up early.

Karen's advice to the young people is to make sure you have a lot of patience and to have some experience in journalism if you want to do a newsletter.
