With the resignation of Principal Brian Behrman, Fishers Elementary School has a leadership vacancy just weeks before classes resume August 5.

The Hamilton Southeastern School Board has scheduled a 7:30am meeting Thursday, July 16, to vote on a recommendation from district administrators naming a new principal for the school. The published agenda does not disclose who administrators will recommend.

Members of the public may address the board by signing up at the meeting before the session begins. Comments will be limited to the lone agenda item — approval of the new principal.

The board accepted Behrman’s resignation at its July 8 session. If the appointment is approved Thursday, the incoming principal will have less than three weeks to prepare before students return.
