Backers Fail To Save Job Of Principal
Sorensen School Principal Col eee McDermon lost his job last night in a 4 to 1 vote by La Vista School Dist trustees after two stormy sessions. A 500 name petition and two hours of argument failed to avert the action. About 75 people attended the meeting, most supporting McDermon, in a long dispute over the South Hayward school's governance. Board Chairman Raymond Baker denied accusations of targeting McDermon. Superintendent Clarence Hardie said he would not recommend rehiring McDermon, leading to his resignation offer being accepted effective July 1. One trustee, Francis Peixoto, voted against accepting the resignation. The board reconvened in executive session and reaffirmed the 4 to 1 stance on rehiring. Hardie argued conditions that prompted his February resignation offer no longer apply, while praising McDermon for running a good school but stating an administrator must go beyond.
