BELOIT – The West Branch schools superintendent will transition to a teaching position when he returns from sick leave.
The school board Wednesday night approved Timothy Saxton to remain on sick leave through July 31 and acting Superintendent Micki Egli to continue as superintendent pro tempore during that time. Saxton has been on sick leave since August and Egli has been filling in for him.
Saxton has requested to be transitioned to a teaching position upon his return. The board will be considering options as they plan for the leadership change this summer.
“We wish Mr. Saxton the best for a full recovery,” said Egli in a written statement. “We look forward to seeing him again in the classroom this fall and will keep our community updated on the process of the plan for leadership moving forward.”
