The USD 447 Cherryvale-Thayer Board of Education names Chad Knight as interim superintendent.

 

The move came at Tuesday's special Board of Education meeting, Board President Gina Booe calls for the vote.

 

Knight is the current principal of Cherryvale's Lincoln Central Elementary. He was selected to replace Travis Githens, who was relieved of his duties by the school board at a special meeting held last week. The board gave no time frame concerning Knight's interim role.

 

The Board voted unanimously to name Angela Edwards as interim principal at Lincoln Central. Edwards teaches sixth grade at the elementary school.
