Tea Area School District Superintendent Jennifer Lowery resigns after 13 years; board accepts resignation
Summary
Dr. Jennifer Lowery submitted her resignation as superintendent of Tea Area School District 41-5 after 13 years; the school board accepted the resignation by voice vote and offered public thanks for her leadership.
The Tea Area School District 41-5 Board of Education accepted the resignation of Dr. Jennifer Lowery, the district superintendent for the past 13 years, in a unanimous voice vote during the board meeting.
Board members expressed gratitude for Lowery’s leadership and credited her with helping place the district “in a very good position,” citing her contributions to the district’s successes during her tenure.
The acceptance came after a short tribute from board members. A motion to accept Lowery’s resignation was made and seconded; the board chair called for the question and all present responded “aye.” No formal roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript. The board offered “best of luck” and publicly acknowledged Lowery’s service.
Lowery did not outline next steps for district leadership or a timeline for a replacement during the portion of the meeting recorded in the transcript. The board took no further formal action on succession planning at that time but later moved into executive session under a cited personnel statute (see actions).
