James A. Sutton was approved as the new interim superintendent for Gardner-Edgerton School District USD 231 at the February 7 school board meeting. Sutton will serve as the interim superintendent effective immediately until June 30, 2022. The unanimous decision by board members was made after over an hour of executive session. “I am nothing but excited about coming to USD 231 and assisting the rest of the fiscal year helping out to do what I can,” he said. Sutton said he had listened to quite a few different perspectives where the district was currently at and planning on going. “As mentioned there are so many parallels in my 28 years as super as to what the needs of the district are,” he said. “I’m impressed how resolved the board is on working together when it is ripe for polarization.”
