Hard-Boiled School Principal to Stick to His Guns in N.J.
Bullhorn-toting Principal Joe Clark changed his mind and said today that he will remain at his post and not take up a Reagan Administration job offer.
After escaping contempt charges Monday by agreeing not to chain school exits shut, Clark had said he planned to go to Washington. (Story, Page 20.) But he said today that he will remain at Eastside High School because “winners don’t quit and quitters don’t win.”
“I refuse to let a board of education run Joe Clark out of a town that he has worked for assiduously for 27 years,” he said on “CBS This Morning.”
