Board approves principal appointment and several administrator reassignments ahead of 6–12 move
Summary
The board confirmed multiple personnel actions including appointing Danielle Turlange as Richardson Elementary principal and assigning Tracy Early to Roberts Middle School; superintendent said the moves are part of preparatory work for an upcoming 6–12 building reconfiguration and transition.
The Cuyahoga Falls Board of Education on July 10 approved a slate of superintendent‑recommended personnel actions intended to position the district for an upcoming 6–12 building reconfiguration.
The board voted to appoint Danielle Turlange as principal of Richardson Elementary with five transition days at the stated per‑diem rate. Dr. Salica introduced Turlange, noting her 12 years of service to the district and prior roles as a kindergarten and third‑grade teacher and as dean of students. Turlange told the board she was "ecstatic to be able to join a school that has such a legacy." (Danielle Turlange)
The board also approved assigning Tracy Early (previously Lincoln principal) to Roberts Middle School on a two‑year contract to help manage the transition during the building realignment. In addition, the board approved contract addendums for Thomas DeFrancisco, Julie Hall, Chris Black and Chris Vanquuren; the superintendent said the moves are being made thoughtfully with supports in place and emphasized that no one would lose employment as part of the reorganization.
What happens next: The superintendent and central office will coordinate transition supports, assign coaching and set timelines for administrators taking new roles. Board members requested updates as transitions progress and thanked leaders for their service.
