Newton-Conover City Schools' Associate Superintendent Janie Sigmon will retire Nov. 30.
Assuming her title and most of her duties is David Stegall, who has worked at Newton-Conover City Schools.
Stegall currently serves as the director of elementary curriculum, ESL (English as a second language) and AIG (academically and intellectually gifted). He joined the school system from Iredell-Statesville Schools in July 2007.
Barry Redmond, superintendent of Newton-Conover City Schools, said Stegall was selected for the position because he has proven himself with his consistent good work.
Stegall will assume most of Sigmon's duties, although a few will go to other people, Redmond said.
Overall, the school system's central office leadership will be reduced by one person with Sigmon's retirement.
Stegall's contract will be approved at the board of education's work session Dec. 2.
Sigmon worked as associate superintendent for Newton-Conover City Schools for 12 years. Redmond said she was known for her integrity and honor, and her love of children.
Sigmon helped implement AVID, the Newton-Conover Health Science High School and Gear Up.
