Woodlawn School Board Faces Principal Staffing Request
The Woodlawn and Grant elementary schools may gain a full-time principal after two dozen staffers petitioned the board. In May Joni Appleman was hired to lead Grant and Woodlawn, replacing Paulette Strong. Woodlawn, with 170 students, seeks dedicated leadership similar to smaller districts New York and Riverside.

Interim Supt. backs no change at Woodlawn and Grant
Interim Superintendent Randy Weseman recommended the board not alter its administrative approach to Woodlawn and Grant now. He proposes the district's finance committee study the issue and report in April 2001. He says the shared structure is efficient and fiscally responsible, noting Grant's enrollment is too low for a full-time principal and should be affiliated with another school. Woodlawn is Grant's closest neighbor.
