Reply to comment by d_fa5 in Lebanon County school district won’t allow Addams Family on stage, saying it promotes bad values by WITFnews

"infamous" is an understatement. At least Don Bell is now gone.

Wait, knowing of him from his days at Northern York is this really why he retired?

No, but everyone knows student achievement and proper admin behavior were not things Don focused on. He likely would have taken Mr. Pinky and chewed on it just for the fun of it.

Ah good to know. His daughter is on our school board now

Don Bell's daughter is on the NYSD school board? He had an interesting sense of humor; I hope her's is a bit more refined.

Not knowing what you mean by that I can't really comment. On a personal level I never had an issue with her beyond normal petty high school stuff. I don't really know her well enough in adulthood to say anything, but her husband is a decent guy and she seems to be fairly levelheaded on the board.
