Thanks to Sherry DeFrancesco for this anouncement.
I did not hear abouthis until Sherry contacted me.
Carmen Saminski made her announcement this week about her retirement, which
will take place on August 15th.
The Superintendant for the School for the Deaf in Devil's Lake is also
vacant since Carmen was the
Superintendant for both schools.

The difference between the job requirements for the School for the Blind and
School for the Deaf is notable.
