Sternberg ready to return
Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg is poised to resume her position at the helm of the Greenwich public school system next week, according to town officials who have been in contact with her since she took a medical leave of absence nearly two months ago.

Sternberg, 58, who started a medical leave on June 16, is expected to return to her post on Aug. 11, according to Acting Superintendent of School Kathy Greider.

The reasons for Sternberg's leave have not been made public, though last year, she wrote an opinion editorial in which she discussed living cancer-free since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001.

Greider, who has been in regular contract with Sternberg for several weeks, said there was little reason to doubt she'll be ready to return.

"Because this is a medical leave, there's obviously nothing etched in stone," Greider said. "But I can tell you, she sounds better, and says she feels better, so we have every indication she'll be back as planned."

Police arrested two 15-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy by warrant and charged them with third-degree burglary and other charges for allegedly stealing electronic equipment from a Glenville resident in May, according to a police report.

The burglary was reported on May 16, according to Greenwich Police Lt. Daniel Allen, a spokesman for the department.

All three boys were also each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, fourth-degree larceny, and conspiracy to commit fourth-degree larceny, according to the report.

The three boys were referred to the Juvenile Matters Division of state Superior Court in Stamford, according to the report.
