Amador County Unified School District Superintendent Dick Glock said last week the Back-To-School nights at several schools were well attended in the early school year, including ones he attended at Amador High, Pioneer Elementary and Jackson Junior High. He said schools will hear form a drug task force person before they begin the school drug testing program. Board member Pat Miller said he agreed about transportation. “We instituted fees this year and that seems to have gotten off to a good start,” Miller said. Board member P.J. Karnaze said he also attended open houses and noticed new teachers who seemed like some exciting and enthusiastic additions to the staff. Glock, first year superintendent for ACUSD, said the school year had gotten off to a running start, in part with high school principals, Amador’s Alan Van Velzen and Dave Vicari at Argonaut, who were around for the summer, “not getting paid but letting us know what they needed.”
