Dreier’s husband will remain in Colorado
The Greeley Tribune is reporting that new Orange Unified Superintendent Dr. Renae Drier’s husband, Dr. Fred Dreier, will remain in Colorado as his wife moves to California. Dr. Fred Dreier is principal of Loveland High School, close to Greeley in the Thompson School District.
The Greeley Tribune reported that Dr. Renae Dreier had finally submitted her resignation on July 22nd in a hand written note to the Greeley School Board. The note read:
"As you know, I have been the finalist in a California superintendent search since mid-June. The process has now been completed and this letter is to let you now that July 31, 2008, will be my last day with the district.
"While I am very excited about this new position, please be assured that I will miss District 6 and the Greeley community. I appreciate the support I have received from the entire district community. Our successes of the past three years would not have been possible without a great team effort!
"Thank you for your support over the past three years and for your personal support of me over the past weeks as I have pursued my personal/professional goals in California.
"Best wishes to a district on the path to success."
Big Apple pay for Orange Superintendent
Dreier’s beginning $750,000 three year contract has raised eyebrows across Southern California. The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday July 24th in their California Section that Drier’s OUSD contract matches what New York City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein makes for leading the Big Apples school system. Dreier’s predecessor Dr. Thomas Godley, with his controversial retirement package (that the OUSD Board voted to let him keep), leaves OUSD slightly ahead of Dreier in overall salary.
Dreier, who reportedly has not returned any reporters telephone calls, will return to Greeley for a reception next Tuesday night. That is the same day that Colorado releases its state testing scores for last school year.
