New faces joining Bristol Township administrative team
Posted in News on Thursday, July 31st, 2008 at 4:21 pm by Joan Hellyer
Two new administrators who will join the Bristol Township School District before the 2008-2009 school year begins are “excellent” additions to the team, Superintendent Ellen Budman said.
The new hires, Melanie Gehrens and George Ciarrocchi, are among several supervisors who have different responsibilities in the upcoming year.
Gehrens will serve curriculum and instruction supervisor for Bristol Township’s secondary schools following a two-year search to fill the vacant post. Gehrens, the former Morrisville Middle/High School principal, will earn $106,880 per year, officials said.
The interview team recommended Gehrens for the job because of her strong curriculum background, Budman said.
Ciarrocchi, a former elementary school principal in Delaware County’s troubled Chester-Upland School District, will earn $107,147 as principal of Clara Barton Elementary School.
Barton is Bristol Township’s biggest elementary school. It faces improvement efforts because of students’ performance on state standardized tests earlier this year, officials said.
Interview team members recommended Ciarrocchi because of his efforts to improve student performance in Chester-Upland schools, the superintendent said.
Ciarrocchi replaces Cathy Karasakal who takes over as principal of Mary W. Devine Elementary School. Karasakal replaces Rhoda Stein, who retired.
Other administrative changes include:
Edward Dayton who moves from being an assistant middle school principal to a Harry S Truman High School assistant principal; Linda Marquis moves from being a Truman assistant principal to an assistant principal at the district’s freshman academy; John Baradziej, the former John Fitch Elementary School principal, also will serve as an assistant principal at the academy; and, Karen Snedecker, a former Title One teacher at Devine, takes over as Fitch’s principal.

Question for Jon. I don't know the proper category to place this question under so I just went to the top. As I sit here on my vacation day reviewing bloghead posts, (I'm bored) I notice that an enormous amount of your postings (thanks for all the compliments) are posted during the dates and times of normal working hours for most folks. Now I know that you have an important (Government?)job and you're saving the world from global warming but tell me it's not so. Tell me you're not playing bloghead on company time. Or worse, not on the taxpayer's dime!!!!!
anonymous, you sound like a sad and troubled person. I will pray for you.
First off, you're welcome. You deserved and earned each and every one of those compliments.
Keep playing in the mud, maybe you'll find something for your book. For instance, I got my only speeding ticket in the early-90's in New Jersey for going 42 in a 35 zone.
Hey, I'm not perfect, but it gives me some comfort knowing that I'm not you.
And enjoy the rest of your vacation. Sounds like you're having a rip-snortin' good time!
Anonymous Steve never answers the hard questions. He only knows how to point fingers at others.
Excuse me again, but I think your hypocrisy is still showing. You might want to tuck that in.
Since someone has has so much time on his hands, maybe he can answer this for us. It was asked earlier in another thread about the extra money for boro CPs attendance at some event.
Still, WTF!! with the cost overruns? If these folks were approved to attend, and they knew they had a spending limit, why did they exceed it? and why is it alright to come back afterward and ask for more money? Come on Mr. High Public Official, where's the outrage?
It's also amazing that someone who cuts off power to poor people for a living would ever make comments about someone else's work.
Jon, you didn't answer the question. Maybe then some more research will be required. Again, do you have a taxpayer funded job and are you posting on that time. The blogheads accuse me of "not answering questions." Are they going to give you a free pass? Answer the question Jon!!!
WOW...how sad that this article mentioned our FORMER Principle going to Bristol and all you can mention is your on going rift with Jon.
If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem!
High official Stevo-anonymous: I've got a comment of yours here ready to approve. You demand answers to your question. Provide some of your own to the honest questions posed to you here, and I'll approve yours. You've been ducking questions here so long, you've probably got scoliosis. Either answer the questions, or go quietly into your little cave of paranoia.
"Mommy! Mommy! The moderator is being a nasty old bloghead and being a big old mean poopyhead."
Must suck to be the schoolyard bully when the principals around.
So I'm a bloghead AND a poopyhead? Even my kids have admitted I'm a poopyhead. Since little Stevie says I'm a bloghead, I must be one of those too. Imagine the T-shirts... they can say "Steve thinks I'm a bloghead"
Sounds like Steve's vacation has gotten less boring. He's still not answering questions.
Sorry to see you go, Melanie. Best of luck to you.
Jon? You didn't answer the questions. As a matter of fact, you didn't post a comment on company time today but your little trolls chimed in. Just imagine, a defamation lawsuit against the people who own the computer that you've been abusing. Using company computers to defame political foes is a no-no!! It sounds like a lot of "Gould dollars" to me "funny man."
Steve,
You should know that EVERYONE here only writes on their vacation days, durring their lunch or cigarette breaks, or when home with their families. No bloghead here would use company resources, such as their company computer or e-mail service. No one spends valuable company time to think or write about important civic issues.
I might also add that in addition to that, no one would DARE fall asleep during company time either. That would be as alarming as a High Public Official nodding off during a board or council meeting.
Or, if such a person was cyber-squatting on some else's wireless connection while on vacation. That would be bad.
