“On my first day, about five kids came off the bus saying ‘You were principal when my mother was a student here,’” Meyer said. “I’m glad that I can provide a sense of continuity for the school’s staff and families.”
Meyer will stay through June 30, while the district seeks a replacement for Principal Bryan Gilligan, who left in early February.
