In a sharply split vote that came after nearly two hours of polling
among board members, the All-Island School Committee last night selected
James H. Weiss as the next superintendent of Vineyard public schools.

Mr. Weiss, who has been superintendent of the Sanborn regional
school system in New Hampshire for the last seven years, is expected to
take over leadership of the Island's six public schools on July 1,
replacing Vineyard interim superintendent G. Paul Dulac.
