Former Madison School District principal and teacher Ann Yehle has been named as Executive Director of Educational Services, and Erik Kass has been selected as Assistant Superintendent for Business Services.
Both appointments are pending the approval of the Board of Education at its May 5 meeting, and both would begin on July 1.
