Former Columbia superintendent Kenneth Klawitter will return to the school district in July as acting superintendent for the coming school year.
Klawitter will replace Superintendent Barry Clippinger, who announced his retirement in September. Despite having nine months to find a permanent replacement, the board Thursday unanimously approved the appointment of Klawitter to serve as acting superintendent in an "emergency capacity" from July 1, 2013, until June 30, 2014.
"The board was unable to fill the position with a permanent candidate at this time," board President Tom Strickler said in an email. "There was no specific cause or reason, issues happened during the process that caused delays."

You could hear a pin drop on Chryst Field of Biemsderfer Stadium when Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett finished his commencement speech this morning at Millersville University.
Normally, such speeches elicit rowdy applause from the students awaiting their diplomas.
Not this time.
Millersville's 2013 graduating class refused to clap.

Some graduating students, alumni and others have been organizing demonstrations to make it known to Corbett that he is not their choice to be the one delivering inspirational words of wisdom to the Class of 2013.
Corbett was selected by a university administrator from a list of approved speakers identified by a commencement committee a couple years ago. But graduating seniors and the larger university community feel betrayed by that decision.
They do not associate Corbett with bringing good things to their school.
They blame him for the budget cutbacks that led to the elimination of the men's cross country and track and field program. They blame him for the reduced hours they can work at their campus jobs. They blame him for the cuts in state support that led to larger class sizes, lost jobs and high tuition.
So they are planning to protest the man they hold responsible.
Columbia — Commencement is at 7 p.m. June 6 in the high school auditorium; baccalaureate is at 7 p.m. June 4 at Columbia United Methodist Church.
