charges of murder and<br />

attempted murder. He was<br />

to be arraigned Tuesday<br />

in Shasta County Superior<br />

Court.<br />

Many of the staff within<br />

the Big Valley School District<br />

today worked with Bob<br />

Watson.<br />

“He was a great guy to<br />

work with,” said Teresa Armstrong,<br />

who was the district<br />

secretary at the time Watson<br />

was interim superintendent.<br />

He was hired to replace<br />

Supt. Mark Evans who died<br />

in the Spring of 2007 and<br />

assisted in the hiring of the<br />

next superintendent, Richard<br />

Rhodes, in July 2008.<br />

Prior to his nearly oneyear<br />

stint as superintendent,<br />

Watson had 25 years experience<br />

as a public school<br />

administrator.<br />

He was superintendent of<br />

the Grant Elementary School<br />

District in Redding from<br />

1997-2005.<br />

He started his education<br />

career as a teacher in Sebastapol<br />

in 1973.<br />

“Big Valley needed a<br />

strong personality (with the<br />

sudden vacancy created by<br />

Evans’ death),” said Armstrong,<br />

and Watson exemplified<br />

that.<br />

The Watsons rented a<br />

home in Fall River Valley<br />

where Candice would stay<br />

three or four days per week<br />

before returning to their Redding<br />

residence.<br />

Bob Watson wanted to be<br />

actively involved in the community<br />

and joined the Big<br />

Valley Lions Club.<br />

Armstrong had equally<br />

nice things to say about Candice<br />

whom she worked with<br />

at an eighth grade bazaar.<br />

“She helped me put a<br />

table together and we both<br />

had a great time,” Armstrong<br />

said.<br />

Letter from the President<br />

Four students from Burney Elementary School graduated from the sixth grade<br />

with a 4.0 GPA and, for their efforts, received a letter from President Obama.<br />

The BES principal and the four students in the photo are from left, Principal<br />

Marcy Schmidt and students Chelsea Davis, Zachary Thompson, Eli Urlie,<br />

and Devin Murray. The honor means that these four students have never<br />

received less than an A in every class they’ve taken since they started 4th<br />

grade, the year that the school district starts giving grades to students.<br />
