No mention of Director job on ELANCO agenda
Shown above is the agenda for ELANCO's upcoming board meeting this Monday night. Go HERE to link to the agenda on their website.
The agenda for the upcoming Eastern Lancaster County School Board of Directors Meeting for July 18, 2016 makes no mention of a Director of District Operations position. The position is part of a deal recently approved by ELANCO and the Columbia Borough School Board. The job posting stated a deadline of "June 30, 2016 or until successful candidate is selected."
According to LNP, Columbia School Board President Tom Strickler stated his intention to apply for the position and has recused himself when the job was discussed at meetings.
Since Strickler's resignation includes an effective date of July 18, 2016 at 11:59 p.m., it has been widely speculated that July 18 would be ELANCO's decision date to appoint a candidate to the position. In theory at least, if Strickler were denied the position, he would still have time to rescind his resignation from the Columbia board.
An informed source tells Columbia Spy that ELANCO could hold an executive session before its regular board meeting in which the position and candidate(s) could be added to the agenda. The board could then vote on an appointment on Monday night.

Just when you thought the Columbia Borough Council were doing back door deals in the last several years, here comes the Columbia School Board doing the same. There is NO Columbia Pride anymore, it is "Columbia Tried, and Failed". This is due to the non-professional people who have no experience being on either Borough Council or School Board.
When Columbia turned its head on third and fourth generation families, they decided to move out of Columbia to better their children's education and taxes. When you look how long it takes to sell a home in Columbia, it takes a quarter of the time to sell somewhere else. The downfall has been under the leadership of none other then Tom Strickler..... AKA Columbia Proud
To think that anonymous two thinks so highly of the "canadite Strickler" for the position speaks, no - shouts, volumes.
No, he is on the school board to only be president, who thinks he can run things his way. You think it was a coincident that Mr. Knighton became president instead of VP, Ms. Hohenadel? (what an embarrassment) and that Mr. Combs suddenly wanted back on the school board after resigning before? and then there is Mr. Lutz, lived in Camphill a half a year prior to becoming a board member in January (one year of residency qualifies you for board position) https://columbianewsandviews.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/school-board-meetings.pdf
Everything seems to be put in place so that Mr. Stricker lines up all his ducks(board members) in a row, so yes, this time, he has a shot at the position!! Yes, Mr. Strickler knows he and Dr, Klawitter created this position and knew he was going for the position... what ethical quandaries! Maybe he should have resigned months ago. Wake up Columbia! Happy last day on the board Mr. Strickler!! Most of you, the public, know it's true....speak up.
We overwhelmed with taxes, crime, and we need to get a grip on 5 he abusers of the welfare system, yes this goes out to,,,, the food stamp sellers, drug users, absent parents and the list goes on. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!
