By Ted Brewster

After screening a few dozen candidates, and interviewing a select 3 or 4, the Blue Ridge School Board scheduled a special meeting for August 23 to hire a new Superintendent. That would be Robert B. McTiernan of Lake Winola. Mr. McTiernan, 47, was Principal at Scranton High School from 2002 to 2006. Lately he has been “Supervisor of Pupil Personnel/Special Programs” with the Scranton School District. He began his career as a Biology teacher in Honesdale after graduating from the University of Scranton in 1986. He has also served as a Scranton City Councilman (Democrat).
