In a scandalous turn of events, the New Castle city schools are on the brink of a major shake-up. The Board of Education is set to elect a new principal tonight, but insiders claim it’s not just a matter of finding the right candidate. Sources close to the board reveal a web of intrigue and backroom deals that could leave one of the applicants in the dust. Professor Allen H. Knapp, the current principal, is said to be vying for the top spot, but his chances are being threatened by two dark horse candidates: Professor William B. Tharp of Middletown and ex-Superintendent Roman Tammany of Sussex County.
