New manager to oversee Kings projects

DEERFIELD TOWNSHIP — Bobby Grigsby is eager to help the Kings Local School District start building.
Mr. Grigsby was hired last week as the district's manager of school business affairs, and will help oversee construction of two elementary schools that officials hope to open in 2001.
Mr. Grigsby starts at Kings on May 24 on a part-time basis, he said. He goes full-time after July and will earn $60,000 annually through July 2001. He also will help oversee business operations, including transportation, maintenance and custodial departments and food services.
Mr. Grigsby spent 30 years with the Carlisle schools from 1964 to 1994, rising from the teaching ranks to spending four years there as superintendent.
He retired for a year and came back to work as business manager for the Warren County Career Center, where he has spent the last four years.
“One thing that really enticed me was the (elementary) buildings,” he said. “I like project-type work like that.”
Superintendent David Query said hiring Mr. Grigsby was part of a district reorganization that includes the elimination of two positions this summer, the maintenance supervisor and custodial supervisor. The reorgani zation has been planned for more than a year, he said.
“Those people have been nonrenewed, (but) not because of job performance,” Query said. “The district has grown to the point we need a business manager. We'll have central coordination of all those services.”
Those employees, James Irvin, head of custodial serv ices, and Dick Baldwin, head of maintenance, have not yet been rehired by the district in other positions, but that is possible, Mr. Query said.
“It was done to create a better organization,” Mr. Query said. “Bobby Grigsby has a lot of experience. He brings that knowledge with him.”
