Scala, who was electedpresident in 1985 after a long struggle tounseat Kaplan, has often suggested that hewould like to see an active search for asuperintendent when Glassman%u2019s contractexpires in 1987. Glassman, who had been adeputy to a previous superintendent, cameto the position when Kaplan was presidentof the board.Since the elections last May, boardmembers have outwardly tried to maintain adisplay of unity during the public meetingsby unanimously endorsing most resolutionsand only rarely abstaining from any votes.But at last week%u2019s meeting, an anticipateddiscord was reached when Kaplan and histwo allies, Peggy Buffalano and Rev. FrancisManzo, abstained from voting to re-affirmthe board%u2019s superintendent appointment procedures.Publicly, Kaplan said the procedures werealready in effect and no vote was necessary.Privately, another board member said thevote was taken to %u201cintimidate theopposition,%u201d though Kaplan would not comment on the tactic.Scala, however, said the decision to take avote on the procedures was made before themeeting and added that he was surprised bythe abstentions. %u201cAll I wanted to do wasmake sure there was no misunderstandingbetween the community and the board as tohow the procedures would take place,%u201d hesaid after the meeting.Prior to the meeting, during the board%u2019s executive session, the issue surfaced whenManzo asked for a postponement of a publichearing on the superintendent contractscheduled for Nov. 20 because of a conflictthat would keep him from being present. %u201cIjust want to make sure I am present for anydecisions that are made,%u201d he said to theboard. Scala assured Manzo that no decisionon the public testimony would be made so noalternative was discussed.Glassman has been on the District 15 stafffor 26 years, the last five as superintendent.His contract is up for renewal June 30,1987,and he says %u201cOf course I%u2019m going to apply%u201dfor a renewal.In other school business, the board voted ona string of budget resolutions acceptingFederal and State financial assistance.In another uncharacteristic set of voteabstentions, board member Judy Hoffman,who says she opposes all the gifted programsthat are run with State funds, abstained fromvoting on the acceptance of $117,500 of Statemoney for two gifted programs at P.S. 29 inCarroll Gardens and P.S. 230 in Sunset Park.%u201cI don%u2019t think it%u2019s advisable to turn backmoney that the State is giving us,%u201d said Hoffman about her decision. %u201cI would just preferthat the legislators give the district themoney and let us spend it.%u201dDespite a significant increase in Statefinancial assistance this year, District 15 hasbeen informed by the Central Board ofContinued on Page IIHow The Slope/Sunset Park/South Brooklyn Board WillChoose An Educational HeadThe selection of a communty school boardsuperintendent for Community School Board15 for the three years beginning July 1,1987, isa lengthy process and the resolution that wasre-affirmed at last week%u2019s school boardmeeting calls for it to begin six months priorto the expiration of the current superintendent%u2019s contract.To start the process, the school board hascalled a special public meeting for Nov. 20where it has invited members of the parents%u2019associations, non-public schools and the community to comment about the advisability ofrenewing the current superintendent%u2019s contract. This meeting will be at 7pm at I.S. 88,330 18th Street.If the school board decides not to advertiseor hold interviews for any new candidates, ameeting is then to be scheduled with the current superintendent to evaluate a continuation of the contract.If the board does decide to advertise and interview other candidates, the communityschool board has to ask the currentsuperintendent if he would like to be interviewed. Dr. Jerrold Glassman, who has beendistrict superintendent for five years, says hewill be a candidate for a new contract.The board will then review resumes thathave been submitted through advertisementsin local newspapers and determine whether itwants to interview any additional candidates.At any interview, the parent associationsfrom each school will be allowed to send onerepresentative.Although the parent associations will beallowed to review resumes and make suggestions, the board will make a final decision asto who it will interview. After the interviews,the parent associations can then makerecommendations. Then a list of finalists isdrawn up and delegations of board membersand parents will visit the candidates.Second interviews and final recommendations can be made by the parent associations,but a final decision will be left in the community school board%u2019s hands. The currentsuperintendent%u2019s contract expires June 30,1987. - R.T.Board 13 Grants T enure T o StaffBY LIZ KOCHAt a brief meeting of Community SchoolBoard 13 on Oct. 21, the eight attendingmembers of board approved resolutions toaccept grants for two schools in the districtand grant tenure to two principals of localschools.The board, which covers Brooklyn Heights,Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, met at P.S. 282and approved a recommendation bysuperintendent Jerome Harris to granttenure to Loma Brown, principal of P.S. 67and Beverly Hall, principal at P.S. 282.Additionally that night, the boardunanimously voted to accept a Title VII grantfor the amount $144,901, approved by the U.S.Department of Education, to fund a programof bilingual education at P.S. 282, now in itsfourth year.
