Summary

The committee approved an interim appointment for the director of facilities and school safety after the previous director resigned; the interim is a retired facilities director from a neighboring district.

After the resignation of the district’s director of facilities and school safety, the North Kingstown School Committee approved Aug. 19 an interim appointment to cover the role while a permanent hire is completed.

The superintendent recommended David Kenoyer, retired director of facilities from Johnston Public Schools, and the committee approved an interim contract. The superintendent said Kenoyer began last week and had already started building inspections, overseeing summer projects and coordinating an interview process for a permanent replacement.

Why it matters: Facilities leadership is central as the district prepares school buildings for opening and implements capital improvement projects tied to bond work. The interim appointment aims to provide continuity during a period of active facilities planning and construction.

What’s next: Kenoyer will serve as interim director while the district interviews candidates for the permanent role and continues scheduled facilities work and inspections.
