Jonathon Naylor Editor The Flin Flon School Board has filled three vacant administrative positions at Ecole McIsaac School and Ruth Betts Community School. Trustees voted Tuesday to appoint Gerard Lannon as the next principal of McIsaac and Tammy Ballantyne as the next Ruth Betts principal. Steve Lytwyn has been named the next vice-principal of McIsaac. The incoming principals, Lannon and Ballantyne, will begin work Sept. 4 under the mentorship of the current principals, Brent Bedford of McIsaac and John Clark of Ruth Betts. The mentorship will end once 2013 arrives. At that point, Clark will retire and Bedford will move on to become principal of Hapnot Collegiate, replacing the retiring Bill Pauley. Lytwyn will be the lone full-time vice-principal of McIsaac effective Sept. 4, marking the end of an era in which the school had two part-time vice-principals. Two positions The board decided to turn the two positions into one following word from Doug Mack, a vice-principal along with Sylvie Dufour, that he will be leaving Flin Flon this summer. Of the three new administrators, only Lannon will be new to the school division. He is a retired teacher and administrator from Newfoundland and Labrador, with experience at a dual-track school. Ballantyne is presently a resource teacher at Ruth Betts, while Lytwyn is a counsellor at Hapnot.
