Kelly Running has been recommended to be the new Alternative Education/Online Principal for the Hood River County School District. Running will be formally presented by Superintendent Dan Goldman to the Hood River County School Board for approval this Wednesday. Running has worked in the school district for nine years in special education as a behavior and autism specialist, and before that taught special education in the Portland area. The position will be funded by forthcoming resources from last fall’s passage of Measure 98. Those funds must be used by districts on program expansion in three areas: Drop Out Prevention, College Readiness, and Career Technical Education.
