Longtime Educator Scott Paulsen Resigns
After more than three decades with the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, Ensign Intermediate School Principal Scott Paulsen is resigning.
Paulsen is known for instituting a weekly forum at Ensign aimed at dispelling intolerance based on ethnic stereotypes. The program was so successful that it became a model for other schools in the area.
Paulsen joined the district in 1962 as a teacher. Since then he has served as principal at Monte Vista, Andersen, California and TeWinkle schools.
Paulsen, 55, said he is resigning Saturday because of health reasons.
