Petitions Seek Rehiring of Federal Hocking Supt
The Federal Hocking School District board heard petitions from about 588 taxpayers and students urging the reinstate of Superintendent Willard Fitzpatrick for a two year term. Board President Joseph Frost defended the board’s March decision not to rehire citing absences and unresolved charges while defending Title I operations and district finances. In other business, changes to grading system, continued support for special programs, and staff changes were approved. Recess followed, with an executive session to discuss confidential parent concerns.
