Charleroi School District hires new business manager
The Charleroi school board unanimously voted to hire Joseph Gudac as the district’s new business manager.
Gudac, who currently serves as business manager for Beth-Center School District, will replace Crystal Clark, who will be leaving Charleroi Area School District on Nov. 22 for a similar position with Belle Vernon Area School District.
Superintendent Dr. Ed Zelich said Gudac quickly stood out in a large pool of candidates.
“As we narrowed down our candidates from 14 to four and to two, Joseph kept coming out on top,” said Dr. Zelich. “He has excellent problem-solving skills, particularly with budgets. He presented our board with a viable financial plan for the future of our district.”
Gudac, who will be signing a 42-month contract with Charleroi Area School District, will start his position at a salary of $65,000 per year. Dr. Zelich said he will be working with Beth-Center School District on a transition plan to expedite the start date for Gudac at Charleroi.
