LAKEVIEW AREA —
Lakeview School Board hired a familiar face as its new leader.
In a special school board meeting Tuesday night the board voted unanimously to hire Douglas J. Mays as its new superintendent. Board members Clarissa Amon and Renee Marie Jenkins were absent.
Mays, who lives in Sandy Lake and serves on borough council there, is the superintendent of Commodore Perry schools. Earlier in his career he taught at Lakeview.
He will begin his term at Lakeview Sept. 1. His four year-contract runs through Aug. 31, 2016. He will be paid $105,000 for the 2012-13 school year.
According to Herald files, Mays was hired as the head girls varsity basketball coach at Lakeview in 1986. In 2006 he was hired as the principal of Commodore Perry High School, returning to Mercer County classrooms after working as a principal at Keystone High School in Knox, Clarion County.
