Former North Putnam superintendent named superintendent at Covington Community School Corporation

Shortly after resigning her position as superintendent at North Putnam Schools, Dr. Nicole Allee introduced herself to parents and students at the Covington Community School Corporation as its new superintendent. 

Allee replaces Brady Scott, who recently was named the new assistant superintendent at Clay Community Schools. 

Her resignation from North Putnam Schools was accepted earlier this month and ended a tenure that began in June of 2018. The resignation came on the heels of a contentious May meeting where several parents and community members came out in support of boys basketball coach Vincent Brooks after news surfaced in the community of his contract possibly not being renewed. 

At the time, 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. 

In a letter on the Covington Community Schools website, Allee states she is "excited" to join the district.

"This is the time of year where I walk up and down the school supply aisle trying to decide if I need a new ink pen or mechanical pencil. And the student in me loves to smell Crayola crayons; something about that smell takes me back to my elementary years," Allee wrote. 

She mentioned her time as a superintendent, teacher and administrator at all levels and areas. 

"I love runny noses and sticky high fives as much as the teenage crazy of middle school and the deep conversations you can have with high school students," Allee wrote.
