MSD Southwest Allen County Schools marks superintendent’s final scheduled board meeting
Summary
The school board acknowledged Superintendent Dr. DeCotte’s final scheduled meeting, with board members thanking him and discussing leadership continuity as the district moves to a new superintendent leadership arrangement.
Superintendent Dr. DeCotte attended what he identified as his final MSD Southwest Allen County Schools board meeting, telling the board, “this is my last board meeting.”
Board members and administrators used the meeting to thank Dr. DeCotte for his service. A board member read a quotation attributed to President Theodore Roosevelt and said the board was “grateful that we have witnessed this transition,” adding that “together, Kent and Josh’s leadership has strengthened SAC’s commitment to its students, staff, parents, and our entire community.”
Dr. DeCotte told the board he had enjoyed the year and that he looked forward to remaining involved in a reduced role; he also noted the board had taken a hard hat tour of Homestead High School and expects another tour before school starts.
The board’s remarks referenced an internal leadership transition. At the meeting a board member said the “office of superintendent is passed from one leader to the next,” and thanked Kent and Josh for their leadership during the year. The meeting did not record a formal vote related to the superintendent’s position or a personnel action during this session.
The board did not place formal personnel actions on the agenda during the remarks; future meetings will carry specific agenda items for appointment or transition steps if any formal action is required.
