William Penn SD names new student-services director, interim East Lansdown principal; business manager search continues
Summary
The personnel committee was told Dr. Nikia Williams will start Feb. 3 as executive director of student services, Jennifer Cifune will serve as interim principal at East Lansdown beginning Feb. 3, and the district continues to recruit for a business manager with additional resumes under review.
Speaker 1 announced staffing decisions and recruitment status for several administrative roles. "Dr. Nikia Williams will start in that position on February 3," Speaker 1 said, after a process that included five interviewees and two candidates meeting with the superintendent in January. Speaker 1 said Dr. Williams was the successful candidate for executive director of student services.
On school leadership, Speaker 1 said Jennifer Cifune will be interim principal at East Lansdown starting Feb. 3 until a permanent principal is identified. Speaker 1 clarified that while the superintendent may reassign staff as needed, the principal position must be posted for a permanent hire.
Regarding the business manager position, Speaker 1 said no strong candidate has yet emerged; the posting remains open ("it never closed") and the district is continuing to review additional applications and conduct further interviews. A committee member asked to participate on the interview committee given budget oversight responsibilities; Speaker 1 noted two board members had previously served on a related interview panel and said the district would coordinate the interview process.
These were personnel announcements and procedural recruitment updates; the transcript records no formal votes or final board approvals during this meeting.
