A school district in Dallas County is receiving a good amount of new teachers for the upcoming school year.

Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Schools are gearing up for a new school year bringing in 20 new teachers. The school district has five buildings in the area with Meadow View Elementary, Adel Elementary School, DeSoto Intermediate, ADM Middle School, and ADM High School. ADM Superintendent Greg Dufoe tells Raccoon Valley Radio that 20 teachers is pretty typical for the school district, but he is excited for these new teachers to contribute to ADM. 

Several teachers will be working at multiple schools, but there are four teachers in both the elementary schools, seven in the middle school, and nine in the high school. The full list of teachers can be found below.
