Second time as a principal candidate in Belmont for Lexington educator doing double duty.
Ellen Quirk patiently waited outside the Wellington Elementary's lunch room Monday night, Oct. 23, watching as parents and students wandered in around 7 p.m. ready to fire questions at one of the two finalist to succeed Amy Wagner to become the Wellington's new principal.
