VND's Take on Kerr Leaving ASD

In April 6, Tuesday Takes, the Valley News Dispatch gives their opinion on Dr. Kerr possibly leaving ASD.

Kerr leaving?: The fallout from the new Armstrong School Board regime continues. The latest is ASD Superintendent William Kerr is looking to bail and is a finalist to be the Norwin School District's superintendent. Kerr is widely recognized as one of the finest superintendents in southwestern Pennsylvania, but he recommended -- wisely -- the district close Elderton Junior/Senior High School. That was an unforgivable sin in the eyes of the new majority at ASD, which apparently believes a run-down, under-populated school is hallowed ground. Expect other administrators to follow, or be fired.
