Quincy High School’s principal, Dr. Sue Segura, could be back on the job next year.
Segura was told the school board would pursue a conditional offer of employment with her at its special board meeting April 18.
After 4-1/2 hours in closed session, the Plumas Unified School District board reconvened and announced it had taken action.
Previous to the announcement at 10:45 p.m., Segura addressed the audience of about 40 diehard supporters, asking them to remain silent regardless of the board’s decision.
A former Quincy business owner was sentenced Friday, April 19, after pleading “no contest” to a charge of felony sexual battery.
Patrick Michael Le Coq was sentenced to three years of formal probation and 596 days in county jail. He must register as a sex offender, pay fines and fees and stay away from the victim and her mother.

Dr. Kevin Trutna is taking his new position as president of Feather River College in stride. Right out of the gate Trutna has orchestrated a collaboration between FRC’s equine program and Yuba College’s veterinary technician program.
Trutna spent 14 years with Yuba College before getting hired at FRC. In those years he said he helped the growth of the college’s vet tech program and he knew the vet program inside and out. When he made the transition to FRC he saw a potential for a perfect marriage between Yuba College’s program and Feather River’s equine program.

The inaugural “Shiver at the River” fundraiser was held Saturday, April 20, in Portola. It was accompanied by an additional inaugural happening: the Early Open Fish Derby, which saw anglers trying their favorite techniques up and down the Middle Fork Feather River from Rocky Point east of town to Delleker.
The weather was perfect, and ticket-holders hit the waters as early as the 6 a.m. start. A week earlier, Plumas County Fish and Game Commission had paired with Portola High teacher Dave Valle and planted a truckload of brood stock from the Feather River College hatchery program.
On April 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.
