Springfield building principal assignments unclear
Four new principals were hired by the Springfield school board Thursday night, but those administrators were not assigned to any particular building.
The district has as many building principals as it does buildings at this point, but few of those have officials been assigned. There may be some movements to match skills to building needs, Interim Superintendent Don Thompson said.
Christopher Shaffer was hired to be campus director for the high school, so he will be at Springfield High but at this point other assignments are still being hammered out, according to officials.
As soon as those assignments have been decided, I will write about who is going to what school.

Let’s see- start the high school at 7:30 AM despite scientific studies that show students do better when starting later,like every other high school in the county! Then hire four new principals but not have specific assignments for them. What’s next- closing one of the new schools, whoops already did that!By Kele

As an employee of Springfield City Schools, How could you hire people and not know where they will go? We need to get rid of the board and HR and start from scratch!By Leslie Vasquez

Leslie- You can find the list of principal assignments here: http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/springfieldeducation/entries/2009/07/15/springfieldprincipalassignme.html There’s one more building administrator hire to make (pre-school program administrator at Clark) and there will be a lot more information about Springfield principals after the final hire is done. Thanks!
