Norwood students deserve a huge round of applause.

Yar.  They showed 'em.  Again.

From The Montrose Press:

NORWOOD — People and tension filled the Norwood High School library Tuesday evening to combat a pending decision by the Norwood School District R-2J Board of Education not to renew the contracts of two popular teachers.

After a petition and testimony from 16 students, parents and other community members were presented, the board went into an executive session. At midnight, they voted unanimously to renew the contracts of Lisa Doyle and Beth Costa.

“It was really up in the air,” Doyle said. “I’m happily surprised.”

Doyle’s assignment of “Bless me, Ultima,” by Rudolfo Anaya, to her English class sparked a controversy last year between some faculty and the administration. Norwood School District Superintendent Bob Conder had the book pulled from Doyle’s class after a parent complained. Conder is on leave and the district is interviewing candidates for a new superintendent.

Did you catch that bit at the end about the superintendent leaving?
