Summary

Following Superintendent Rod Hetherton's departure, the Swartz Creek board approved Deputy Superintendent Jim Kitchen as interim superintendent to lead operations while a search for a permanent superintendent proceeds.

The board voted June 25 to appoint Deputy Superintendent Jim Kitchen as Interim Superintendent to oversee district operations until a new superintendent is selected.

A motion by Andrea Fick, supported by Kim Winter, approving Jim Kitchen as Interim Superintendent passed on roll call with four votes in favor and one no recorded from Autumn Henry. The appointment follows an earlier report that Rod Hetherton "has accepted a position in another District" after 21 years with the district.

Board members thanked Kitchen for stepping into the interim role and said the district will move forward with a superintendent search. The board did not set a final timeline for the search during this meeting.
