Kennett board names Dr. Michael Barber acting superintendent for late July–August
Summary
The board appointed Assistant Superintendent Dr. Michael Barber as acting superintendent from July 27 to August 22, 2024, with temporary compensation of $75,100 (less required withholdings). The motion was moved, seconded, and carried during the June 10 meeting.
The Kennett Consolidated School District Board voted on June 10 to appoint Assistant Superintendent Dr. Michael Barber to serve as acting superintendent from July 27, 2024 through August 22, 2024, filling the administrative gap between the current superintendent’s departure and the incoming superintendent’s start date.
The recommended action stated that “the sum of $75,100 less legally required withholdings will be paid to Doctor Barber as compensation for this temporary appointment and for his additional duties during the period.” The board moved the recommendation, received a second and approved the appointment by voice vote.
Board members thanked Dr. Barber for agreeing to assume the interim responsibilities. No additional conditions or amendments to the compensation were recorded in the public motion.
Next steps: Dr. Barber will assume acting-superintendent duties beginning July 27, and administration will implement payroll adjustments for the temporary compensation period.
