An area school superintendent is stepping down at the end of the school year. Tim Somers says he’s resigning from his position as superintendent of the Tri-Township Consolidated School Corporation, effective June 30. “I just feel that it is time for a change in leadership at Tri-Township,” he says. “I think I have led through some difficult times, and now it’s time for a fresh start for the corporation. I want to see this corporation do well, and so that’s why I am resigning.” Somers says his resignation was accepted by the school board during a recent meeting.
Now, he says board members will begin a search process, with the goal of having a new superintendent in place by July. “Indiana State University . . . they have a free service that they go out and help school boards find viable candidates for their school corporations,” he explains.
Somers is now in his sixth year as Tri-Township’s superintendent. The school corporation consists of LaCrosse High School and Wanatah School.
