pragmatic and realistic, with a desire to retain staff seeing first-graders through to their graduation, Gilliland said. As for servant leadership, Gilliland said that would mean him accomplishing any tasks on the path to success, from teaching classes to cleaning rooms and placing cones around the parking lot. “It means to serve the staff by knowing that I’m here for them and will do whatever it takes to get the job done,” he said. “Am I going to manage? Absolutely. But in Christ, I want to help people understand we can serve others.” In the academic realm, Gilliland wants to see more electives for upper grades, such as psychology, career education and leadership management courses, but more teachers would be needed for that. Among extra-curricular activities, Gilliland would like a band to start within five years, even if it starts small, and a soccer program should start at CFCA within two years, he said. Relationships with home-schoolers merit positive change, as well, he said. “I would like to be able to partner more seamlessly with home-school educators, allowing more opportunities for home-school parents to utilize our opportunities for success, such as P.E. class or things they might not be as comfortable with,” Gilliland said. “There are students who utilize our academics, but I’d like to see that expand.” Gilliland’s plans to enhance CFCA’s international host school status within the next two years could increase revenue, with a current focus on Asian students that will widen with time, he said. “We’ve had our school toured and got all the thumbs up, so we’re just waiting on their approval,” he said. “It’s exciting. I know this: We are more than happy about expanding our family. I know that sometimes there can be some stigma with certain schools out and about, but I want to change the (thinking) that there needs to be some sort of line. Understand CFCA can be the school for anyone, no matter who you are.” Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@ wotimes.com.

WINDERMERE — The investigation continues into the death of Victoria Siegel, 18, who died June 6. She was the daughter of Westgate Resorts founder and CEO David Siegel and Jackie Siegel, who were made famous in a 2012 documentary, “The Queen of Versailles.” At about 2 p.m. Saturday, June 6, Victoria Siegel was found by a housekeeper at the Siegels’ Windermere residence, Orange County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jeff Williamson said. She was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, but resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. “The Siegel family is devastated and heartbroken by the loss of their beloved Victoria,” a family representative wrote on Jackie Siegel’s Facebook page. “They are hurt, deeply wounded, and they are grieving. Victoria was a beautiful spirit with a wonderful smile who was greatly loved and will be deeply missed.” According to the post, Victoria had a history of seizures and was prescribed medication for this condition. She became dependent on the medication but had voluntarily gone into rehabilitation. David and Jackie Siegel family were attending a wedding in Park City, Utah, when they were notified. They flew home immediately. An autopsy has been performed, but the cause of death has not yet been determined. “It is likely that Victoria ingested one or more drugs prior to her death. However, we cannot determine at this time whether or not the drugs she took were in fact prescribed medication, something else, or where and how these drugs may have been obtained,” the representative wrote. David Siegel is the founder of Westgate Resorts, a timeshare company, and also owns the Orlando Predators arena football team. “The family is deeply appreciative of the outpouring of support that they have received and request that their privacy be respected while they mourn their loss,” the representative wrote.
