Pat Stanley, a long-time employee
of both the former Perth County
School Board and its amalgamated,
two-county successor, was named
superintendent of education for the
Avon Maitland District School
Board. with particular
responsibilities over curriculum.
Stanley replaces Marjatta
Longston, who was recently hired to
take over the top job in a school
board in British . Columbia's lower
mainland.
"We're very pleased to have Pat
with us on the team, and look
forward to working together with.her
for the years to come," said Avon
Maitland vice-chair Randy 'Wagler.
at a regular: meeting Tuesday, June 8.
Stanley began her educational
career as a Primary teacher in the
former Perth board. She also taught
at the junior and intermediate levels
before moving on to serve as
principal at Falstaff, Hamlet and
Anne Hathaway elementary schools
in Stratford, and Central Perth
elementary school in Wartburg.
Shortly after the amalgamation of
the Perth and Huron boards, Stanley
moved to the new Avon Maitland
board's Seaforth headquarters, to
serve as a system principal. In that
capacity, much of her time has been
taken by the administration of Team
Read, a program aimed at attracting
and maintaining interest in reading
among younger students.
"We're making headway," Stanley
said, referring to Team Read as "a
wonderful program of support for
young readers.",
Other initiatives which benefited
from Stanley's input over the past
couple of years include a pilot
project exploring different
timetabling opportunities under the
so-called "balanced school day," and
an orientation program for
kindergarten students, operated
through partnerships with such
community-based agencies as the
Health Units, rural libraries, and the
Ontario Early Years program.
Commenting on Longston's
decision to leave the board, Avon
Maitland chair Meg Westley said it
had been no secret the outgoing
superintendent aspired to serve in a
school board's top administrative
position. and wished her well in her
BC job. She credited Longston for
skillfully implementing government-
mandated initiatives with which she
didn't always agree, and with
introducing innovative programs
