Bell County Public Health Director Amanda Robison-Chadwell announced Monday that she will resign from her position â and the county will soon pause its daily COVID-19 updates as a result.
The district said the daily updates, published by Robison-Chadwell, will stop next week as she prepares to leave for a new job conducting epidemiological research at another organization.
The district said in its statement that Robison-Chadwellâs last day is set for May 24, with district officials working to determine who will replace her.
âI have been fortunate to lead this health district with its talented and dedicated staff,â Robison-Chadwell said. âWhile I am excited to see what the next phase brings, it is bittersweet, and I will miss working with this agency and the multiple partners that we have collaborated with along the way.â
Nearly 30 years after the Temple Independent School District implemented the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Temple High in 1992, Lisa Adams â the districtâs assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction â said student engagement is still going strong.
âAs the only district in Central Texas to offer a K-12 IB experience, we have seen firsthand how this investment makes a difference in the lives of our students,â Adams said during an April board meeting. âWe are immensely proud of the staff members at our IB campuses who go above and beyond to foster curiosity, diversity and a love for learning for our students.â
