Migrant program leader off the job
The coordinator of the College Assistance Migrant Program at Lewis-Clark State College says he doesn’t know why his contract isn’t being renewed.
Glen Galindo was notified late last month that he would no longer lead the program.
The administration isn’t required to explain why it terminates an employee who is not tenured. Dene Thomas, LCSC president, said she wasn’t able to comment about Galindo because of privacy laws.
But she said she was proud of the College Assistance Migrant Program.
“Our plans for CAMP are to increase the numbers of students and quality of the program,” she said.
The program recruits Hispanic students and gives them financial and moral support during their first year of school.
Galindo said he has received positive performance evaluations, and some participants in CAMP defended him.
Galindo requested a civil protection order against his ex-wife, Monica Montero, while the two were going through a divorce last year. He said he later violated that order, which caused him to receive a court-ordered probation.
He pleaded guilty to a DUI charge last year. The DUI is a violation of his probation.
Galindo said he was not interested in taking LCSC to court over his contract not being renewed.

Fireworks ban to start next year
This Fourth of July may well be the last time when individuals can set off fireworks in this Central Washington town.
City Council members voted 6 to 1 Tuesday to ban personal fireworks after this summer as a public safety measure. State law requires the delay.
A supporter of the ban, Jack Childress, told the council that residents in his neighborhood have had to deal with property damage from fireworks.
Similar bans have been enacted in Kennewick, Pasco, Spokane and numerous cities in Western Washington, including Seattle. Ephrata, Richland and Wenatchee allow fireworks, with restrictions.
