Hall returns to vote “aye”
The primary purpose of the Tuesday, April 24, 2012 Peru School Board meeting was to vote on hiring a new district superintendent. However, prior to the meeting, hugs were being exchanged as the board greeted David Hall. A longtime member of the board, Hall suffered a serious heart attack in the board meeting room following a March 27th meeting (Date corrected). Board member Donna LaRocque and Principal Chris Mazella applied CPR, Board President Rod Driscoll used a defibrillator and they are being credited with saving Hall’s life. The people attending tonight’s meeting gave Hall a standing ovation. Hall thanked those people who came to his aid and everyone for the support he has received throughout the past two weeks. He said he just couldn’t miss tonight’s meeting where he cast a vote in favor of hiring Dr. Patrick Brimstein as the district’s next superintendent.
