On Tuesday May 22nd, the Albany Unified School District Board of Education appointed Ted Barone as Albany High School’s new principal. Barone will be replacing Ron Rosenbaum, who announced his retirement on February 28th.
Barone comes to Albany High School from Burlingame Intermediate School where he served as principal. Previously, Barone was principal at Terra Linda High School in San Rafael, vice-principal at Balboa High School in San Francisco and assistant principal at A.P. Giannini Middle School in San Francisco.
Barone taught for 17 years prior to his 10 years as an administrator.
In a letter to the community, board member Charlie Blanchard stated, “Barone has a record as a leader in online communications, multimedia technology, collaborative decision-making among parents, teachers and students, and the use of standards and accountability to track student progress.”
Barone will officially begin work on July 1st, 2007 but may visit prior to the end of the school year.
He and his family live in Mill Valley, California.
Three elementary principals were appointed at the meeting as well. Lynda Hornada will be principal at Marin Elementary, Wendy Holmes at Cornell Elementary, and Terry Georgeson will return to the district as principal of Ocean View Elementary.
oh god..
Thanks for such a quick posting. There is a lot of hard news in this district lately.
that’s exciting!…. i guess…
Huh, looks like he seems pretty fair-minded, the whole Kaffir Boy book banning which he tried to clear up is good points for him in my mind. Guy also seems to have an eye for refurbishing broken down buildings, maybe we’ll be looking at new seats in the Little Theater. Eh, we’ll just have to see.
fooooooooooooool that boi look like borat LMFAO.I’ll call him Mr.Baloney
he looks hella nice and cool
i wish it was ms.walin webber 
she much cooler and nicer… but i dont know lets see how he is
I’m going to have to be skeptical of anyone appointed by charles and the gang
thats baroney homie!
A great meal for the Cougar community!
Chalk up and add to the list of yet another school being impacted by the new principal: Terra Linda High, Berkeley High School, Burlingame Intermediate School, Balboa High School, Giannini Middle School
“Terry Georgeson will return to the district as principal of Ocean View Elementary”
damn…poor ocean view’ers
Watch your back!
we got a new principal very fast.
bye bye mean principal of marin elementary school.
they should have made immoni the security guard the principal.
This is a very inept and weak leader. Watch your back. Observe someone talking out of both sides of their mouth. Intellectual snob. Good luck Cougars students and staff! It is jolting to think this was the best candidate for the position. Read all the postings at the Burlingame Voice for a fuller picture of what you will be dealing with.
he might re bulid the arts building and put new seats in the little theater.
key word……..MIGHT……..check out the Burlingame Intermediate School website…….they are almost completely without designated key leadership positions filled in the administration and counseling positions…….as there was a mass exodus from the place……..and it wasn’t because of poor seat quality………
i can see this guy shutting down a lot of functions
Ignore anonymous, above, and don’t look to the Burlingame Voice for any quality information! The Burlingame Voice is a gossipy, mean-spirited local smut machine which a petty few in Burlingame use to anonymously flame their neighbors and local businesses. Give your new principal, Mr. Barone, a chance– to most of reasonable folks in this peninsula town, he was a fair-minded nice guy, a good listener, and someone who worked to build a better community in our middle school. Also, our mass exodus is more due to teachers’ union and morale issues at the district level (we nearly had a strike last year!) than to any one principal– this is a district-wide concern!
let’s take down names for people who are 10 seconds late!
Lot more comments from when I first posted. He doesn’t appear all bad. What we need is a new superintendent. I don’t think Ted Barone would be a bad choice if we were to come to our senses and get rid of willy.
this fool be crazy ive never heard him speak except when yelling at kids
hes soooooooooooo mean goood luck he is a horrible principle he got me in so much trouble and it wasnt even his jobs the only ppl who liked him were suck ups srry but its true
hes not kool
he’s a bastard
HE’S “IN” ON THE WHOLE SCHOOLLOOP THING! SCHOOLLOOP IS BASED IN BURLINGAME!
wow…..i thought he got fired sucks for you
jeezus u guys hes awesome. and u probly just dont like him cuz ur a bad kid. hes hella nice.
i guess, you know what hey say things happen for reasons
Ted Barone is the best thing that ever happened to Albany. He’s really cool, but he knows how to get things done. Quit hating you idiots.
Uhhhhhh Wow this is old.Uhhhmm yeah he looks pretty nice
He’s not THAT bad…he just has a difficult way of communicating with the students…I get the impression that he is a nice guy and can be friendly, as long as you’re not misbehaving…Though sometimes he seems condescending when I asked him about AP Environmental Science, he asked what math I was in and responded to my question about enrolling in the course in a sort of condescending laugh that hurt my ego a little bit…Also, in the yearbook, wasn’t he voted to be said to have some kind of physical similarity to Albert Einstein? Lol, I think that got to his head a little bit because he acts like he’s that supernaturally intelligent and although he IS smart, he is not all that and a big bag of potato chips….
lollipop..lol sorry listening to lil wayne
tangeable
