Board approves superintendent contract
The Franklin Board of Education voted 4-0 for stability in their superintendent seat, giving retired Monroe leader Arnol Elam the job for the next two years.
Elam came on just prior to the start of the school year and has made a good impression with the staff and board, said President Chris Sizemore.
“He’s done a great job,” Sizemore said. “He’s got a vision for where he want us to be.”
“We’re looking forward to at least two additional excellent years,” Sizemore told Elam.
Importantly, Elam’s contract will ensure the district has a consistent leader through with important upcoming decisions, like the levy they will need in 2010.
The board also welcomed new member Paul Hillard, who was appointed to the vacant seat of former board Vice President John Griffo.
Hillard has previously served on the board and will “definitely bring a lot to the board,” Sizemore said during Monday’s board meeting.
The board voted 3-0 on his appointment, with board member Lori Raleigh abstaining because Hillard is her uncle.
Hillard will be a member of the board through Dec. 31, 2009.
Board members also expressed their happiness that Steve Buerschen, the district’s director of educational services, will be staying on with the district after his retirement Dec. 31.
