Former superintendent meets community

By Meagan Engle | Thursday, July 10, 2008, 12:21 PM

Former Edgewood Superintendent Tom York and another finalist for the top job at Kings Local Schools participated in community interviews this week.

York, who has officially retired from Edgewood, explained that a strong administrative team and happy employees are key in an excellent school district, Danielle Wilson reported this week.

York said his main goal, if hired, is to create an environment of trust in the schools by building good relations with parents, students and staff.

Some at the community meeting questioned why York left Edgewood.

“I felt like in my career, I was ready for a new challenge,” he answered. “I haven’t applied to two dozen school districts,” he said, adding he was drawn to the district’s academic and extracurricular achievements.

Kings’ Board of Education met the day after the interviews to discuss the two candidates, but took no action.
