Search on
for new school supe

After receiving Dale Mitchell’s resignation at the Aug. 7 meeting,
the Winters School Board took up the task of finding a replacement. The
agenda packet included very detailed guidelines from the California School
Boards Association (CSBA) on how to proceed. The board liked Mitchell’s
suggestion that the board recruit and select an interim superintendent
from outside the district for the coming school year (2008/09), which
would allow a year-long process to find the long term replacement.
Both CSBA and ACSA (Association of California School Administrators) have
lists of retired superintendents who are interested in serving as interim
superintendents.
Mitchell proposed a very aggressive schedule, in order to find the interim
superintendent in time for the new school year. The board will then have
many months to do the search for the actual superintendent, who would
start the following year. ...

This year’s AFS students met their Winters
“families” for the upcoming school year on Thursday, Aug.
14, gathering at the home of Rick and Diana Baker. Students staying in
the Sacramento region met there after arriving in California, and many
stayed briefly with Winters families before meeting their real “families”
from other towns. Top photo, from left are (front) host family members

Future looks bright for Warrior swimming
By ERIC LUCERO

Success is contagious and right now the Winters High School swim team
is very contagious. The Water Warriors are back in the pool after the
most successful season in school history and are ready to somehow improve
on last year’s record breaking season.
People like to be a part of something positive and successful, and that’s
no different for the Warriors swim program as the team roster has increased
from 27 to 41 swimmers since last year.
“For the 2008 swim season, we are looking stronger than ever,”
said coach Kevin Chester.
“For the past five years that I have been coaching here, I have
seen a steady increase in students participating.
“On the girls’ side of the pool, we are still looking strong.
We lost one senior last year and have gained several incoming freshmen,”
said Chester.
He added, “On the boys’ side of the pool, we are looking at
the strongest team we have ever had. I feel very confident that not only
will we win leagues for a fourth year in a row, but we will also win sections.”
