Western Boone board approves Kyle Whitley as superintendent, effective July 1
Summary
The board voted to appoint Kyle Whitley as superintendent effective July 1, 2026, approving the contract discussed at a prior public hearing; Whitley thanked the community and cited mentorship from his predecessor.
The Western Boone County Community School District board voted March 9 to appoint Kyle Whitley as the district’s next superintendent, with an effective date of July 1, 2026.
The appointment followed a public hearing Feb. 23 and a hiring process that included summer interviews and community input. The board moved to approve Whitley’s contract and expressed unanimous confidence in his leadership during the motion and subsequent remarks.
Whitley, addressing the board and attendees, thanked the board and his family and acknowledged mentorship from Mr. Remy. “I’m humbled, but I’m also excited for this opportunity,” he said, adding that he considers Western Boone home and praised the district’s staff and community support.
Board members applauded the selection and the board scheduled a post‑meeting reception to welcome Whitley. The board’s action formalizes the district’s leadership transition and puts the new contract into effect on July 1.
What’s next: Whitley will assume duties on July 1, and administrators will coordinate transition steps and public communications about the leadership change.
