Kristen Brooks was unanimously appointed by the Board of Education as Bethel’s next Assistant Superintendent of Schools. She fills the vacancy that will be created by the upcoming retirement of Jan Jordan.
Brooks has been Berry School’s principal since 2006.
In addition, the board appointed Michelle Rutledge, who is supervisor of Readying/Language Arts, to a newly created position as Director of Teaching and Learning.
The position expands her current responsibilities for curriculum development and implementation, adds greater responsibility for staff professional development, greater responsibility for Bethel’s assessment program, and greater responsibility for implementing research-based academic intervention practices across the entire K -12 continuum.
