WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. By John F. Bailey. August 6, 2004: Ivan Topper, the Principal credited with turning around Lincoln High School in Yonkers, has accepted the position of Principal of White Plains High School, according to the Superintendent of Schools in White Plains, Timothy Connors Wednesday. Connors advised the CitizeNetReporter of Mr. Topper's selection Wednesday and told WPCNR the Board of Education would be asked to vote on Mr. Topper's appointment at Monday evening's Board of Education meeting.

Connors asked WPCNR to hold the story until Mr. Toper had resigned from his Yonkers position which he did Thursday. Toper is expected to be on board at WPHS the first of September. He replaces Christine Robbins who was terminated by the School District after two years of her three year contract.

Connors told WPCNR that he and members of the Board had visited Lincoln High School and had been very impressed with Mr. Toper. Connors had no other statement when he reported Mr. Toper's selection to us Wednesday.
