Greater Jasper School Corporation administration changes

The Greater Jasper School Corporation Board met for their monthly meeting today and major announcements were made in a change of leadership for the schools.

Superintendent Dr. Jerrill Vandeventer and Assistant Superintendent Mike Hile both submitted retirement requests to the board, which would be effective at the end of the current school year in May 2012. The board accepted and granted the two requests and immediately voted to approve Dr. Tracey Lorey as the new Superintendent to succeed Vandeventer.

No other changes in the administration were announced at this time, but could come in the future.

The change in leadership comes at an important time when the school is trying to get construction started on the new gymnasium to replace the one that fell last May 2nd. No administrators would go on record about the announcements and changes but stated that any further information would come through their board meetings and official press releases.
