(PAOLI) - Jon Bennett was named new superintendent of Paoli Community Schools on Monday night.
Jon Bennett
Bennet will replace Casey Brewster who was suspended for failure to manage the financial affairs of the school corporation in a prudent, reasonable or professional manner, placing the corporation in financial distress and for failure to make satisfactory/acceptable progress in academic affairs as reflected in corporation standardized tests scores, Indiana Department of Education regulatory actions and the absence of a suitable academic plan.
Brewster resigned before the school board could vote on whether to terminate his contract.
Gerald Jackson has been serving as interim superintendent following Brewster's resignation.
Bennett is leaving a position at Huntington County Community School Corp. where he served as assistant superintendent for business and classified staff.
He will take office on June 1. His contract is good through July 1, 2021. His pay including benefits is $138,597.
