Timothy Saxton will not return to West Branch Local Schools as the district’s superintendent.
On Wednesday, the West Branch Local Schools Board of Education voted to extend Micki Egli s stint as acting superintendent through July.
Egli has held the position since Saxton was granted Family Medical Leave on Aug. 29. Egli also serves as the district’s director of special services.
Per Saxton s request, the Board of Education agreed for him to transition to a teaching position upon his return. The news release announcing the two moves did not list a date for Saxton’s return.
