Shaw may be leaving Idyllwild

By J.P. Crumrine, Assistant Editor

In June, Dr. Emily Shaw, Idyllwild School principal, may be graduating to a larger school. The decision will be made at the April 1 Hemet Unified School District (HUSD) trustee meeting.

If the trustees approve, it will be no joke on the Idyllwild community. The new position that HUSD officials have discussed with her would be the principal’s position at Valle Vista Elementary School.

Shaw admitted that her health has deteriorated since she began working and living in Idyllwild. Medication has not improved it and she hopes the lower elevation would return her to better health.

Shaw had served in Valle Vista as assistant principal before coming to Idyllwild. She assumed the Idyllwild principal’s role in January 2006 when Diane Cardinalli accepted a district-level position after several years in Idyllwild.

“I have mixed feelings,” said Bill Sanborn, HUSD trustee. “She is a great asset to the Hill. She’s knowledgeable, educated and connected to the kids and parents. She is concerned about the parents’ feelings toward their children. She cares about the teachers.

“I have the utmost respect for her,” he continued. “As a parent and Idyllwld community member, I don’t want her to go anywhere.”
