Kilgore School Chief Changing Jobs

KILGORE — The Kilgore school superintendent is heading to Longview. Jody Clements announced Wednesday he had accepted the job of Assistant Superintendent of Administrative and Student Services in Longview. Clements has been in Kilgore over four years. He will start his new duties in Longview in mid-September.

On the Kilgore ISD web site, Clements said “Effective Friday August 31st, Deputy Superintendent Dennis Williams will take over as Interim Superintendent until such time as the board can meet and determine their plan for replacement of the Superintendents position. I am very confident that the staff can keep things going and handle this transition. I have been blessed to have a great staff, board and community. I hope only the best for the future.”
