When he comes into Danville unannounced, as chairman of the Republican Party there's not anything I can do. Coming unannounced gives the appearance that he doesn't need to votes of the people of Danville. Lyle Evans, assistant superintendent for human resources, said Monday that the position has been advertised nationally in several publications, including Education Week magazine. The vacancy was created May 8 when current GW Principal Charles Lackey announced that he would be leaving the post to become the school system's new truancy and dropout prevention coordinator. Evans said applications have been received for the position, although he expects more to be received near the deadline.
Most people tend to wait until the last week of the advertisement.
They don't want to see their names get out. Candidates for Grove Park Elementary principal have been interviewed, Evans said. Current Grove Park Elementary Principal Robert Chandler is retiring at the end of the 1995-96 academic year, causing the search. Evans said a committee conducted interviews Thursday and Monday. Applicants also have met with Evans and Superintendent Andy Overstreet.
