COLUMBUS, OHIO -- James Barnes, principal of Chestnut Ridge Middle School in Washington Township has been elected to serve as East Region Trustee on the Board of Trustees of the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE). Barnes previously served on the AMLE Board of Trustees and has served the New Jersey Association for Middle Level Education Executive Board in a variety of roles including president.

AMLE is a global non-profit association and leading provider of quality resources, programs, and services for those who work with young adolescents -- youth aged 10 to 15. Founded in 1973, AMLE has more than 46,000 members in 45 countries.

"I would like to thank the East Region for re-electing me to the AMLE Board of Trustees. I will work to advocate for middle level philosophies and to create opportunities and experiences to meet the goals established by AMLE," said Barnes.

Members of the AMLE Board of Trustees serve a critical role in setting the strategic plan of the association and advocating for policies and practices that guarantee a quality education for all young adolescents.

"We are pleased to have Jim join the AMLE Board as we engage in the important work of making a difference in the lives of students," said Executive Director William Waidelich.
