Petrilli on sick leave

Thursday, October 18, 2007 - 00:00




BERNE — Mary Petrilli, Berne-Knox-Westerlo High School’s long-time principal, is on paid leave this week and plans to be out another week as she "continues to recover from a series of medical episodes she experienced during school hours over the past couple of weeks," said Steven Schrade, the school’s superintendent, yesterday.

Petrilli had given Schrade her permission to tell others in the community that she has undergone tests and will be going through more testing, Schrade said Monday.

Schrade sent out a short letter to the community and posted a notice on BKW’s School News Notifier, an Internet notification system that updates those in the district on the latest school news via e-mail.

Fred Marcil, BKW’s middle-school administrator, is in charge of the high school building, and Coriellen Travis, BKW’s summer school principal, is managing students, Schrade said.

Petrilli is drawing on her sick leave at this time, Schrade said.
