Pellicone, 58, a former superintendent of school districts in Pennsylvania, New York and California, said he believes the board was poised to hire him and sign a five-year contract until a "vocal minority" of residents, some mentioning his sexuality, urged the board to find another candidate.
"The fact is that my lifestyle did not suit the school board of Central Dauphin," said Pellicone, an administrator for the Shoreham-Wading River Central School District on Long Island, N.Y.
Pellicone was not present Monday when CD's board voted to reject him. In a letter he sent yesterday to The Patriot-News, he said "this entire experience has confirmed for me that bigotry is alive and well and deeply rooted in central Pennsylvania." |
