Bedford High School Has New Interim Dean Of Students

Bedford High School has a new interim dean of students.

Pam Ilg, who had retired from the Bedford school district last year, will replace Zanna Blaney. 

Blaney has been on paid administrative leave since the end of August.

She submitted testimony in support of a former colleague who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old student this summer.

In the past two months, interim Superintendent Mike Fournier and high school administrators decided the role needed to be filled for the rest of the school year.

Fournier says he’d like to advertise the position next spring.

"My hope is that, effective July 1, 2019, we will have a full-time dean of students at Bedford High School," he said.

Blaney, her lawyers and the school district are in conversations about what might happen next.
