Three in GUSD make job moves

Three Glendale Unified School District employees have new jobs with

the district.

Lynda Teems, who was most recently assistant principal at

Jefferson Elementary School, was reassigned to work as the assistant

principal at Balboa Elementary School. Because Jefferson Elementary

School is now on a single-track, year-round schedule, the school no

longer qualifies for an assistant principal, district spokesman Joel

Shapiro said.

Cynthia McCarty, who was a teacher specialist assigned to

administrative work, was promoted to serve as assistant principal at

Horace Mann Elementary School. McCarty once attended Horace Mann as a

student, Shapiro said. She replaced Carla Walker, who was recently

named Valley View Elementary School’s new principal.

Joanna Junge, who coordinated the district’s curriculum and

intercultural education and instructional services, was named

director of special projects and intercultural education. Part of

Junge’s new responsibilities will be overseeing the district’s Title

1 programs, which offer assistance to schools with a large number of

indigent children, Shapiro said.
