Clemmer says he's ready to face the challenge of his new job as principal of Carver High School. Last^ week a group of ' African-American Carver High School parents attended the city/county school board meeting to protest the system's principal selection process. The group said they are not pleased with the former principal, L. James McDaniel and that they do not know anything about Clemmer. Clemmer, 42, said in an interview Monday that he is ready to meet with the parents and discuss any concerns that they may have about him. "I am more than willing to meet with them to hear them air out their frustrations and discuss what I can do as the new principal to work toward solving them," he said. One parent, Pauline Fulton, told the Chronicle last week that one of her concerns is whether Gemmer, wtio is a former principal at Philo Middle School, will be able to make the switch from being an administrator at the middle school level to the high school level. Mrs. Fulton's son is a rising senior at Carver. "I am aware of the senior high set up and how it operates," said Clemmer who has taught and v / " oniclr Thursday, July 16,1987 !

"It will be interesting to see how I grow at the senior high level since I taught at that level." Clemmer said that he's glad the parents are questioning him. "That's the way it should be," he said. He described himself as very student-oriented. "I firmly believe that the schools exist for the students," he said. "I sometimes feel we lose sight of this.

It was while at Atkins that he decided to take the fministrative route in education. After receiving his master's degree, he transferred to Paisley Middle School as an administrative intern. In 1978 he was promoted to assistant principal at the school. He was appointed principal of Philo Middle School in 1980 and has spent the last seven years there. He and his wife Phyllis, have three children, Jean, a rising junior a(S^SU; Robbyn, a rising senior at Parkland High School and Billy, a rising junior at Parkland. Clemmer said that changes arc definitely on the way at Carver. Some of the changes may even be radical, he said. "Any new person would have a certain way they do things which would involve change," he said. "I would not want to make radical changes at first. Certain things will be done as the year progresses." A lot of Clemmer's time at first will be spent famaliarizing himself with Carver's background and getting to know the teachtrs and staff and the students when they come. When school does start, Clemmer said that he will spend a lot of time in the classroom, observing teachers and students. % Mdridge From Pa MMIMIMIMMNtMIMIIMIMMIIMIIIIHMMMHMIIHIIMINIINIIMIMtMIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIN A sourcc closc to the position is S30 Commission told the Chronicle The huma hat a total of 52 applications were position has submitted at the breakfast meeting.
