Seymour Board appoints Stephanie Chacon as assistant principal at Seymour High School
Summary
After a committee interview process, the board approved hiring Stephanie Chacon as assistant principal of Seymour High School and discussed a transition plan to allow her to complete the school year at her current building.
The Seymour Board of Education approved the appointment of Stephanie Chacon as assistant principal at Seymour High School following a multi‑candidate interview process.
Board members described a five‑candidate search and named committee members who participated in interviews, including Jay Hatfield and Kristen Hartley. The board praised Chacon’s interview and vision for the high school; Chacon, currently an assistant principal at Chatfield (as stated in the meeting), said she planned to work with district leadership on a transition plan and hoped to finish the year at her current school before assuming day‑to‑day duties at the high school.
Administrators and trustees emphasized a desire for continuity and for Chacon to collaborate with the new or existing high‑school leadership during a transition. A board member said it would be appropriate for Chacon to finish the year at her current building and then begin an overlap and orientation with high‑school leadership.
The board voted to approve the appointment. Trustees thanked Chacon for putting forward a vision and noted the hiring committee’s recommendation. The board did not specify an exact start date in the public session; administrators said they would arrange a transition timeline and report back to the board.
