Superintendent Morrison to become Fairborn assistant principal
FAIRBORN — Beavercreek Superintendent Dennis Morrison won’t go far when he leaves his post July 31.
Beginning Aug. 1 Morrison will be an assistant principal at neighboring Fairborn Primary School. The soon-to-be-former superintendent says the move will accomplish his latest career objective, getting back to working closely with kids.
“It puts me back to my first love, which has always been working closely with kids,” Morrison said. “I believe where I did the most good is when I was a classroom teacher.”
Many in Beavercreek would likely say Morrison did the best at the helm of their district. He is seen as the district’s biggest cheerleader who helped them pass operating levies and a recent $84-million bond issue for a building and renovation campaign. School board members, staff and residents are currently interviewing applicants to replace Morrison. They expect to name a successor before his last day July 31.
Fairborn Superintendent Dave Scarberry said he’s glad to see his friend coming to work in the district where he’ll earn about $76,000 annually. “We’re excited to have him,” Scarberry said. “He’s definitely not doing it for the money.” Morrison interviewed with an appointed panel that quizzed several other applicants, Scarberry said. “He was by far the best of the best.”

This is why good young people leave the profession and the area. Upward promotability is denied them because someone who has now ‘retired’ twice takes a job and becomes a blocker in the line of succession.By my god

Morrison said. “I believe where I did the most good is when I was a classroom teacher.” Then why isn’t he BACK in the classroom?… where he’ll earn about $76,000 annually. “We’re excited to have him,” Scarberry said. “He’s definitely not doing it for the money.”…of course not, he’ll barely scrape by on that amount,” Scarberry said.Lets put on a telethon for him!!By my god
