The longtime leader of the Monroe County School Boards Association is retiring. Jody Siegle, who has been the association’s executive director since 2001, will retire at the end of July.
The association provides training and information to school board members and superintendents for 21 school districts.
Siegle says it’s been a privilege to lead the organization and association president Mark Kokanovich said that Siegle’s “passionate devotion” to public education and to students is unparalleled.
Siegle’s career in public education began in 1988 with the first of her five elections to the Brighton School Board.
The association’s officers are working on a transition plan for its leadership.
