Shaker Heights Superintendent Mark Freeman had kind words for the outgoing Alig.

“Sue will be missed in Shaker,” he said in a statement on the school's web site. “She has been a tremendous leader, stepping up to every challenge with courage and professionalism. Oberlin is gaining a leader with deep understanding of curriculum, instruction and the International Baccalaureate program.”
