District administrator Ryan Kilpatrick to leave South Kingstown for Van Buren Charitable Foundation; last day June 6
Summary
Ryan Kilpatrick told the School Committee he will depart the district to accept a position with the Van Buren Charitable Foundation in Newport; his last day is June 6. Committee members thanked him for his service and noted his role in making financial information accessible.
Ryan Kilpatrick, an administrator the superintendent asked to present the personnel report, told the School Committee that he has accepted a position with the Van Buren Charitable Foundation in Newport and will leave the district on June 6.
Kilpatrick said the move "is not a reflection of anyone currently in the district" but rather an opportunity for his family. He thanked the superintendent and colleagues and said he remained committed to his work through his departure date. Committee members offered public thanks: several members praised his presentations and said he made financial information easier to understand and that he "brought a measured tone to the conversation."
The superintendent deferred portions of the personnel report to Kilpatrick and later introduced John Gould as the district’s interim maintenance director (see votes at a glance). No votes were taken on Kilpatrick’s departure; it was announced as part of the superintendent’s personnel update.
Ending: Kilpatrick said he will continue to work through June 6 and offered to assist after his departure if needed.
