ROCK HILL — Several Rock Hill schools are getting new leaders as the district shuffles administrators during the summer downtime.
Staffing
moves are common for school systems each summer, when contracts are due
for renewal and employees retire or change jobs.
Last summer,
Superintendent Lynn Moody had six elementary assistant principals swap
schools to give them a chance to grow professionally by facing new
challenges.
Moody said she doesn’t expect additional job changes this summer beyond hiring to fill positions of people who were promoted.
The school board has already voted on several changes. Here’s a look:
Rosewood Elementary:
Stephanie DiStasio, assistant principal for two years, was promoted to
principal. Previously, DiStasio taught at South Pointe High. She also
taught middle and high school French.
She replaces former
Principal Stephen Ward, who will be working in the district's Title 1
office as core content integration specialist.
The Children’s School at Sylvia Circle:
Jackie Jones, who was assistant principal at Northside Elementary, will
be the Children’s School principal. Jones has been a Northside
assistant principal for a year. Previously, she was an assistant
principal at Finley Road Elementary for three years. Before that, she
taught fifth grade at Independence Elementary.
Jones replaces
former Sylvia Circle Principal Sandra Lindsay-Brown, who is moving to
Tacoma, Wash., where her husband, Bennish Brown, the former executive
director of the Rock Hill/York County Convention and Visitors Bureau,
has accepted a similar job.
Finley Road Elementary:
Christopher Roorda, assistant principal at Finley Road, will be the
school's new principal. Roorda has been an assistant principal at Mount
Holly and Oakdale elementaries. Before that, he taught fifth grade at
Lesslie Elementary and at Hunter Street Elementary in York. He succeeds
Principal Al Bogan, who is retiring.
Oakdale Elementary:
Leigh Grier, who taught fifth grade in Richland County District 2, will
be assistant principal. She replaces former assistant principal Cassie
Cagle, who will be the district’s exceptional student education
compliance officer.
Nothwestern High: Anthony
Lancaster, a former Chester High assistant principal, will be assistant
principal. He replaces Martha McLeod, who is retiring.
District
officials said they couldn’t provide salary information for the
employees. Salaries won’t be final until state lawmakers pass a budget,
which the district will use to determine its final budget, said Rebecca
Partlow, Rock Hill schools human resources director.
Everyone starts in their new jobs on July 2.
