WV BOE Chooses Temporary Superintendent
WEST VIRGINIA....
During a meeting in Charleston Thursday, the West Virginia Board of Education voted 5-3 to select former Grant County Superintendent John T. "Ted" Mattern as temporary superintendent of West Virginia schools. Mattern will replace outgoing Superintendent Steven Paine, who is set to retire January 3, 2011. The West Virginia Attorney General's Office says Mattern cannot be designated acting superintendent, but he will serve temporarily, while the state school board continues its nationwide search for Paine's permanent replacement. Prior to his work in Grant County, Mattern helped county school districts make improvements in Logan County, Preston County and Mingo County.
