Ogden School District announces slew of administrative changes

Last updated Tuesday, May 1, 2012 - 5:41am

OGDEN — The Ogden School District has shuffled its deck of administrators, moving many around and discarding at least one, in hopes of building a winning hand to take the underperforming district into a more promising future.

Thirteen of the district’s 20 schools will see personnel changes.

Superintendant Brad Smith on Monday announced the hires for three new district positions created last month, and he named seven new principals and five new assistant principals, some new to the positions and others just moving between schools.

OGDEN -- The summer free-lunch program for children up to age 18 begins Monday in most local school districts.

At schools where 50 percent or more students were eligible for free or reduced lunches during the school year, the meals continue through most of the summer. All local school districts except Morgan have schools that qualify.

"It's so students can have something to eat when school is out," said Charlene King, child nutrition coordinator for the Weber School District. "It's open to anyone 18 or younger, and it's because of the importance of good nutrition."
