The Addams Elementary School position was open following the appointment of Principal Jane Flarity-Gram as Special Education Director for the district. In filling the position, the district reviewed over 150 applications and looked for at least five years of elementary teaching experience and at least one year of successful leadership in an administrative position.   The interview process included parent, teacher, and board representation.   At the end of the process, the team was enthusiastic and unanimous in their recommendation of Mr. Youanes.seed09_jeannie_davis
