Transportation Department Leadership Change
Last week the Board of Education accepted Mike Sharp's resignation as the district's Transportation Director. To ensure a smooth transition of leadership regarding this very important department in our district, Mr. Dave Fenton has been named the Interim Transportation Director until the end of the school year. The district will open the position of Transportation Director once this school year is completed. Mr. Fenton served our district in this role previously, and has indicated he fully plans to apply for the position moving forward. Join us in welcoming Mr. Fenton back to our Republic team!
