(EMMA) - Westview Schools has found their next Superintendent.
In a posting on the schools Facebook page, Westview Board of Education President Keith Lambright announced that the Corporation has extended an offer to Dr. Jaime Carroll to serve as the next Westview Superintendent. Carroll has agreed in principle to the offer and a public vote will be taken after Indiana's and the Westview legal hiring process for school Superintendent's is completed.
The hearing regarding the Superintendent contract is January 8. Per Westview policy the official approval/vote will be at least seven days after the hearing with Dr. Carroll, starting February 2, 2026. The date for the approval vote has not been set.
Former Westview Superintendent Dr. Randy Zimmerly will continue as the interim Superintendent until Carroll is able to start and for a short transition period.
Dr. Carroll was chosen from a pool of twelve candidates. The Board interviewed seven candidates and completed an extensive vetting process once she was selected as the finalist.
Dr. Carroll currently serves as the Curriculum Director for Whitko Community Schools. Prior to joining Whitko, Carroll worked for 27 years at the East Noble School Corporation, serving in a variety of instructional and leadership capacities. She also served as an adjunct professor in the School of Education for Ivy Tech Community College for eight years and spent four years mentoring principals across the state though the Indiana Principal Leadership Institute.
Lambright says Carroll's background, personality and experience is a close match to the Superintendent traits identified in the survey the Board conducted as part of the hiring process.
Lambright says they are excited to have Carroll joining the Westview School Corporation.
Carroll will take over as Superintendent following the resignation of Randy Miller in September. Miller was arrested in August on three charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
