Superintendent’s retirement
John Erickson, who has served as superintendent of Vancouver Public Schools since 2002, is being honored on his retirement from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 10, in the commons in Hudson’s Bay High School, 1601 E McLoughlin Boulevard. Erickson, who has had a 40-year career in education, and who joined the Vancouver School District in 1994, is known as a down-home kind of guy. Hence, sponsors of his retirement party, to which the public is invited, say dress is cowboy casual on a Western theme. Erickson will be roasted and toasted at the “O.K. Corral,” reports Kris Sork in the district’s communications office.
