The Pella School Board is taking part in community interviews this week for the new principal at Lincoln Elementary. Candidates will be interviewed this Thursday and Friday to replace Rich Schulte, who announced in February he is moving on to work for the Great Prairie AEA after 13 years as principal at Lincoln. Schulte intends to keep his family in Pella, but says he will miss working with the students and families he’s gotten to know after leading a generation of kids in the community. An announcement for the new Lincoln Elementary principal is expected soon after the interview process concludes, which will be conducted over video conferencing.
