Board delays staff change® By MARK GUYDISH For The Post DALLAS TWP. — The Dallas School Board sparred over the positions of assistant superin- tendent and middle school as- sistant principal at the August 9 meeting, with two plans consid- ered. One would spread the assis- tant superintendent responsibil ities among 11 other adminis- trators, while hiring a perma- nent assistant principal. The other would apparently fill both slots temporarily while the board reviewed costs and needs before making final decisions. Despite a long debate that in- cluded sharp rebukes by audi- ence members eager to see a permanent assistant principal, the board failed to resolve the issue. Board Vice President Frank Natitus said the posts would be Lake-Lehman appoints principals : By DARRIN YOUKER For The Post LEHMAN, TWP— The Lake-Lehman School District appointed five building princi- pals August 10, over the objec- tion of several school board members. Three board members voted against the appointments, say- ing they did not get an opportu- nity to interview candidates. The principals and assistant principals were appointed after recommendations by new Su- perintendent Michael Healey. Board member Mark Kornos- ki said the school board spent more time interviewing football and basketball coaches than principals. Kornoski, Charles Balavage and Lois Kopcha, vot- publicly advertised, but proba- bly as one-year positions. Mem- ber James Richardson scoffed, insisting no one outside the, school district would apply for a one-year stint. Board member Dennis Go- choel called for a non-binding vote to see who wanted to fill’ the assistant principal slot per; manently, and five of the seven. present voted yes: Gochoel, Richardson, Dan Nulton, Rus;, sell Bigus and Maureen Ma-, tiska. Natitus and Gary Mathers said they needed more informa- tion. a Yet when Matiska made a’ surprise move to immediately, begin interviews for the assis- tant principal slot, Nulton and; Bigus joined Natitus and Math-. ers in voting no. Matiska said, the opening had been adver- tised in May and she wanted to interview candidates who @ sponded to that ad. ed against the appointments. School Board Preside James Mahon said the superi tendent was the most qualifie person to choose building pri cipals. Having Healey pick thé administrators takes politics: out of the game, Mahon said. Appointed by the board by a 5 to 3 vote were: E Tracey Halowich, junior principal at a salary of $60,00 Nancy Edkins, assistant senioft high school principal at a salary’ of $56,000; Marilyn Glogowski;: principal of Lehman-Jackson Ei ementary School at a salary of $70,458; Donald James, princi- pal of Ross Elementary School | at a salary of $60,000 and De- | bra Demming, principal of Lake-Noxen Elementary School at a salary of $60,000. : Deadline for submitted news is Wednesday at noon.
