Board Issues Statement About Firing of Sr. Jerome
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Moments ago the board of directors of the Millcreek Community Center issued a statement in response to our story this morning that Sister Jerome Corcoran, the 96-year-old founder and executive director of the Millcreek Children's Center and the Youngstown Community School, was fired May 25.
Attorney Martha Bushey, secretary of the board, issued the following statement:
"We have the utmost love and admiration for Sister Jerome. We are extremely grateful for the school she created and our only interest is to do the best we can for Sister. Jerome, for the students, for their families and the staff, and the community. Mary Jane Gingher is an important part of this mission going forward. She’s an excellent leader, a competent manager and a great team builder, which we feel is important because we all understand that it’s going to be very difficult to replace Sister Jerome."
Gingher was hired as the new executive director of the Millcreek Children's Center and the Youngstown Community School.
Bushey declined to answer questions.
"Out of respect for Sr. Jerome, we will not discuss any of the details," she said.
