With a little over a month until the start of the 2023-24 school year begins for North Putnam students and staff, the district is looking for a new superintendent.
According to an announcement from the district, a special meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow to accept the resignation of superintendent Nicole Allee.
Allee came to North Putnam in June of 2018 and the move comes on the heels of a controversial meeting in May where numerous parents came out in support of boy's basketball coach Vince Brooks.
Talk of keeping Brooks was not on the agenda at the time, but there had been talk in the community of his contract not being renewed, prompting a vocal crowd to turn out.
When the dust settled, the board voted 6-0-1 in favor of keeping Brooks. Board member Joanie Knapp abstained from voting.
In addition, the district has been entertaining the possibility of a water treatment project, getting water to the high school and middle school.
Allee told The Putnam County Post she was "tapped" by a couple of mentors to pursue school and district leadership.
“This is my 26th year in education. I'll be entering my 26th year this year and my eighth year as a school superintendent with a different corporation," Allee said.
