	Madonna School Gets New Leader By Christopher Burbach The World-Herald May 29, 2010 http://www.omaha.com/article/20100529/NEWS01/705299817 The Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha has named an Indiana teacher and communications professional as the new president of its Madonna School for cognitively and developmentally disabled people. Jay Dunlap, a former TV news anchor in Ohio and Indiana, teaches at a school owned and run by the Legion of Christ, an international Roman Catholic religious order. Dunlap is the former communications director for the Legion of Christ and its related lay Catholic movement, Regnum Christi. The Vatican recently took over the Legion of Christ after revelations that its founder, the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, had sexually abused seminarians, fathered several children and misappropriated money. Dunlap replaces Sister Michelle Faltus, whom the archdiocese said is retiring after 50 years of serving Catholic schools as a teacher and administrator. Faltus had been superintendent of schools for the Omaha Archdiocese from 2000 to 2006. She has served as Madonna's executive director for transition and development since 2007. Madonna School, 6402 N. 71st Plaza, serves 58 students ages 5 to 21 with academics and life-skills training. Dunlap, who is 47 and married with five children, will begin his work at Madonna School on July 5. An Omaha native, he is taking the job in part to be closer to his parents and siblings, he said Friday from Sacred Heart Apostolic School in Rolling Prairie, Ind., where he teaches.
