Koocher, the school board's vice chairman, who has accused Lannon of failing to communicate clearly with the committee, of usurping its policy-making role, of administrative and political patronage, and of failing to deal with faculty morale and administrative problems. Almost all of the more than three-dozen citizens who spoke before the school board last night supported Lannon fully, and disputed Koocher's allegations.

The school board is expected to vote within two weeks on renewing Lannon's contract. Please mall me -Copies of The Boston Globe's CAREER AND EDUCATIONAL PLANNING GUIDE for $1.00 per copy.
