NEW SCHOOL SUPER NAMED: Karen B. Salmon, an administrator whose three decades in education have been spent almost entirely in small school systems, was named Maryland state superintendent Tuesday. Liz Bowie of the Sun reports that the state school board announced the appointment of Salmon, currently an interim Maryland deputy superintendent, at its monthly meeting. Salmon spent a decade as the superintendent in Talbot County on the Eastern Shore and several years in a small suburban system in New York.
STATE DIETARY WORKERS KEEP JOBS: Michael Dresser of the Sun writes that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirmed that almost 70 state dietary services workers who were scheduled to be fired and replaced by private contractors will instead keep their jobs.
