Summary
The Crestwood School Board held a special meeting July 22, 2026, to swear in Anthony Dicton as superintendent; community members praised the inclusive search process and raised implementation challenges the new superintendent will face.
The Crestwood School Board on July 22 administered the oath of office to Anthony Dicton, installing him as superintendent of the Crestwood School District.
Judge Webby performed the swearing-in. Dicton recited the oath, including: "I will discharge the duties of my office as superintendent of the Crestwood School District with fidelity," and board members congratulated him after the ceremony.
