Loewenstein Quits as School Superintendent
Supt. Sheri Loewenstein resigned last week, making her the third top administrator to leave the fractious Westminster School District since June.
Loewenstein, who was not available for comment Tuesday, has been with the district for 16 years, becoming superintendent in July 2004. Assistant Supt. Jon Archibald resigned in August, and Assistant Supt. Lorie Gonia stepped down in June.
The district has been marked by political strife in recent years, most notably in a 2004 confrontation with the state that ended with the school board reluctantly agreeing to adopt the wording of a state antidiscrimination law that protects transsexuals and others.
