Crittenden and Livingston counties are each looking for a new school superintendent.Crittenden County Supt. John Belt announced last week his intentions to retire this summer. Now, Livingston's Jack Monroe has delivered the same news to his board of education.
Crittenden County is already advertising for the position. A classified ad seeking candidates appeared in The Paducah Sun Saturday and it is being published elsewhere. Belt has been superintendent at Marion for three years and has provided a calming presence following a stormy few years under former Supt. Fredericka Hargis. By the way, there has been absolutely no recent movement in the defamation lawsuit Hargis filed against several people in the community.
In Livingston, Monroe has been superintendent for the past three years after serving in that school system for the previous 30. He's held various positions within the system, including director of transportation and principal at a couple of the county's schools. The inset photograph is of Monroe.
