District announces resignation of long-time pupil-services director, several hires and a termination
Summary
Board was notified of resignations including Jennifer King, director of pupil services, several new hires and one termination; the board approved the personnel items.
The Norwalk City School District reported multiple personnel updates at its Feb. 12 board meeting, including the resignation of Jennifer King, the district’s director of pupil services, effective at the end of the school year, several new hires and one termination.
Why it matters: the departure of a long-tenured director of pupil services affects student support services and may require internal reassignments and backfill across roles.
Details provided: district staff listed resignations including Kelly Crossman (elementary art teacher) effective Aug. 15, 2025; Jennifer King (director of pupil services) who will retire after the 2024–25 school year; and Jeffrey Mills (bus driver) whose employment was terminated effective Feb. 4, 2025. New hires announced included a custodian (Deontay Jones), several supplemental coaching and pupil-activity positions (coaches and assistants for high school and middle school sports), and classified and certified staff appointments. One educational assistant (Andrea Butts) accepted an offer the evening of the meeting.
Board response and action: board members praised Jennifer King’s service and expressed appreciation; the board voted to adopt the superintendent’s personnel items in a bundled motion (roll call recorded as yes votes). Staff noted that the district may consider internal candidates and that some backfill positions will follow from the director’s departure.
Ending: the board approved the grouped personnel motions; no additional personnel details or searches were announced during the Feb. 12 meeting.
