FALLSBURG PRINCIPAL RESIGNS, MOVES TO BLAINE AS TEACHER
LOUISA — Lawrence Clerk Chris Jobe announced that State Commissioner of Education Terry Holiday contacted him by mail informing him that he has appointed Madelynn Roberts to the temporary vacancy on the BOE and that she can be sworn in immediately.
Ms. Roberts will then be sworn in again after the November election for the remainder of the three year term vacated with the resignation of JD Goble earlier this year, Jobe said.
Lawrence Supt. Robbie Fletcher said he “would rather not comment” but did acknowledge receiving the letter from Holiday. He did not say when Ms. Roberts will be sworn in. The next meeting of the BOE is scheduled for September 21, 2015.
In other school news Fletcher announced the meeting schedule for Fallsburg Site Based Decision Making Committee meetings to hire a new principal.
“Ms. Holmes resigned as Principal of Fallsburg Elementary, effective August 27, 2015,” Fletcher said. He said Mrs. Holmes then applied for a teaching position at Blaine Elementary.
“According to Mrs. Holmes, she felt that she would like to be with kids again in the classroom setting,” Fletcher said. “She seems very excited to be in the classroom setting.” She has served as principal for the last year.
Angela Holmes could not be reached for comment this afternoon. Fletcher did not release the information until today.
