“We’re thrilled to have you on the team,” said Superintendent of Schools John Sanville after the vote. “It’s an arduous process we put candidates through [but] you stood head and shoulders above the other candidates. I’m confident that you’re going to be a fantastic fit.”

For her part, Clark said, “I appreciate the profound sense of responsibility that you have entrusted in me and to serve and to lead the Chadds Ford Elementary School community.”

Dutkiewicz started at CFES at the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year. The school board accepted his resignation on Sept. 9 of this year. His resignation was effective Oct. 1. He went to the Radnor School District to become elementary director of teaching and learning.
