Albemarle County School Board Announces Administrative Changes


(ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Virginia) - At its June 9, 2006 meeting, the Albemarle
County School Board approved the following administrative changes: 


Alison Dwier-Selden was appointed as principal of Yancey Elementary School.

of Virginia where she also received her master's degree in the same
discipline.  She earned a bachelor's degree in Early Education from the

skills and instructional knowledge in elementary education.  He is published
in two educational journals, has received two educational grants for his
work and is a resident of Albemarle County. Sterrett values the opportunity
