There are more administrative moves coming to the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. Tim Hoffman was already named the new superintendent of schools, beginning Aug. 1, the day after current Superintendent John Sanville retires. And now it’s time for more moves.
In two separate emails, Hoffman announced that two people are up for promotions pending a school board vote on Monday, June 16.
Michael Audevard, the current director of curriculum and instruction, will be considered for the position of assistant superintendent to replace Hoffman, who was named last month as the new superintendent to replace Sanville, and current Unionville High School Principal Amy Jenkins is being considered for the position of director of curriculum and instruction, replacing Audevard in that position.
Hoffman said Jenkins “will play an active role in ensuring the launch of our K-2 literacy work, including full-day kindergarten, implementing effective math interventions at all grade levels, and expanding on college and career pathway initiatives she started at the high school this past year.”
Audevard is a former principal at Hillendale Elementary and also taught at Chadds Ford Elementary School.
“During [Audevard’s] tenure,” Hofman said, “he has demonstrated a deep commitment to student success, innovative educational practices, and strong collaborative leadership.”
The school board will vote on the promotions Monday, along with voting on next year’s school budget and on accepting Breslin Architects’ bid on designing a new middle school.
It is expected that the promotions for Jenkins and Audevard will be approved, and that the board will have to look for a new principal for Unionville High School.
