The Bucyrus City School District Board of Education approved a new principal and associate principal for the Bucyrus Elementary School during its regular monthly meeting Monday, July 31.
Mr. Timothy Souder was promoted to the position of Elementary School Principal. Souder, who has been with the district since 2001 as a math coach and math teacher, most recently served as the Associate Principal at BES.
“We are very fortunate to have Mr. Souder taking the leadership role as Principal of our Elementary School,” said Bucyrus Superintendent Kevin Kimmel. “He has been instrumental in the implementation of The Leader in Me program and several other successful programs geared at helping our students develop into well-rounded young men and women.”
The board also approved Mr. Michael Wallace as the new Associate Principal of the Elementary School. Mr. Wallace joins the Bucyrus district with eighteen years of principal experience most recently in the Mansfield and Findlay City Schools. He also has overseen the implementation of The Leader in Me program in two separate buildings in the Findlay district.
“We are excited to welcome Mr. Wallace to the Redmen family,” said Kimmel. “He brings a wealth of educational knowledge and experience to BES, as well as an intricate understanding of The Leader in Me program, which is a major point of emphasis and pride in the Elementary School.”
The board approved all other agenda items as presented, and then recessed to executive session with no additional action being taken. The next regular meeting of the Bucyrus Board of Education will begin at 7 p.m. in the Lincoln Administrative Center Thursday, Aug. 24.
