Sullivan Returns To State Education Dept.

Russell Sullivan, former principal of the Atlanta High School, has announced
that he is returning to the State Department of Education as Area Supervisor
of Vocational Agricultural Education and Agri-Business.

He expects to begin his new duties November 1.  Present plans are to maintain
an office in Winnfield.

Sullivan formerly held this position when Bill Dodd was State Superintendent
of Education.  Prior to that time he had been Agricultural teacher in
Winnfield High School.  Since returning to Winn Parish he had served as
principal of Atlanta High School was presently acting as Student Work
Coordinator for Special Education.  His responsibility was to assist students
in this category in securing work experience.

In his new capacity Sullivan will be working with the Agriculture departments
in parishes located in North and Northwest Louisiana.  His appointment was
made by State Superintendent of Education J. Kelly Nix.

"I appreciate the opportunity to have worked in Winn Parish.  It is an honor
to have worked in one of the best school systems in the state.  It was with a
great deal of reluctance that I accepted this new responsibility but it is
more in keeping with the work that I am trained for," said Sullivan.
