Williams' resignation
A new leader for Camden Elementary - maybe
By Debbie Lowe

Williams

Afarewell reception is planned for Camden E l eme n t a r y P r i n c i p a D e b b y Williams Oct. 23 from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Camden school gymnasium.

The flyer received by the Comet read, "This is an opportunity to thank Mrs.Williams for all that she has done for Camden Elementary School and wish her well in her new position with the Department of Education."

When contacted for an interview, Williams refused to discuss the matter. Her e-mail reply to the request said, "I have not officially resigned yet, so I don't feel comfortable talking about it."

Delphi Community School Corporation Superintendent Ralph Walker confirmed Tuesday that no letter of resignation has been received from Williams.

"She's going to leave," he said. "She's announced it to the staff."

Walker said his understanding of the matter is Williams has not been offered the job with the State Department of Education in writing. She refuses to formally notify DCSC of her impending resignation without confirmation of the new position.

Walker said he was told that Williams' last day is Oct. 25.

DCSC board of school trustees scheduled an executive session Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. "to receive information about, and interview, prospective employees."

The next school board meeting is Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.
