The former principal at Summit Township Elementary School has been transitioned to a new role.
The Butler Area School Board has approved Lesley Fidler to take over as principal of Butler’s cyber elementary program. She has been absent from her position at Summit since early December. No details about the reason for her absence were provided.
Paul Chmara will continue as a substitute principal on an “as needed basis” at a rate of $300 per day. Chmara is a retired principal and lives in Butler County. Northwest Elementary Principal Matt Martinez will also be offering support as needed.
Fidler was hired by the Butler Area School District in July of 2018 after spending time in the South Butler and Mars Area School Districts.
