Fort Grant Workers Must File For Jobs
Thirty employees at the Fort Grant Industrial School for Boys must file employment applications by March 23, Gov. Howard Pyle said after the Tucson board secretary reported no personnel changes had been discussed. The juvenile board reportedly plans to request resignations of Superintendent E. L. Edmondson and Administrative Director Charles W. Reed, appointed last March after former superintendent Jack Wilson resigned. The board, now interim under Louis Felix, will carry out the process through the secretary of the board within ten days and may retain only those who meet expectations until the Fort Grant school moves under the new State Department of Health, Welfare and Correction on July 1. Edmondson was formerly dean of men at Arizona State College. Reed, once brought from Bloomington, NL, was later made administrative director after disqualification as a citizen of the state.
