School principal can't leave his job at the office -- he lives there

December 6, 2004 PRINCIPAL1207
HALSEY, Ore. 0- Some workers seem to live at the office, but the principal at Central Linn High School really does.
Michael Bremont, 31, routinely spends 80 hours a week on the job, arriving well before school starts each morning and leaving long after the final bell.
Frustrated by how little he was seeing his family, Bremont approached his district superintendent last year with an unusual request. He wanted to live in an unused building on campus.
District officials loved the idea, and spent $2,000 renovating the place. Bremont pays $500 a month in rent, plus his electricity costs, so the district has made back what it spent.
And Bremont is becoming a more involved father. One recent evening, when his after-school duties included supervising the year's first girls and boys home basketball games, Bremont took a break to walk across the parking lot and join his family for a tuna casserole.
Once the game started, Bremont was able to sit with them.
``It's been really wonderful,'' he said.
