Briefs: Woodland principal resigning post
Woodland Elementary District 50 Intermediate East Principal Melissa Kahn Passehl will resign her position at the end of June. Passehl has served as Intermediate East principal since 2005. With Passehl's departure, the District 50 school board voted to restructure the Intermediate School administration. Next fall, the school will have one principal, one associate principal and two assistant principals. It's part of a new plan, said board President Bruce G. Bohren. The next step will be to recruit an Intermediate School associate principal. The associate principal position was posted in late December with the recruitment process expected to take place in March.
