A KOTO Radio show, called Friday Live, that aired March 7, 1980. Jerry Greene interviews Dick Girodano, Telluride's school principal. Dick came from a background in education and moved to Telluride, Colorado in October of 1979 to become the principal. Girodano describes his background, including how a person becomes a principal, and what a principal does. He speaks about the dress code he implemented for the teachers, and the classes offered at the elementary school for student personal development. He then speaks of his salary and his loyalty to the school board. Then upcoming changes, including curriculum changes are discussed. He also talks about the personal education that Telluride students experience, which is unusual to most students' education.
