O'Neill wants new contract for Weast

School board member Patricia B. O’Neill, recently elected without an opposition candidate, says she wants to renew Superintendent Jerry Weast's contract, which expires early in 2007.

"When I joined the board in 1998, the board began its search to hire a new superintendent," O'Neill says in the Gazette. She boasts, "I am proud that I was part of the group that hired Dr. Weast, and I look forward to raising my hand as we renew his contract for another four years."
