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 />
