The board of Owensboro Public Schools has named a new superintendent.
Matthew Constant has been serving as interim superintendent since Nick Brake resigned from that position at the end of December.
Constant has 25 years of experience in public education. He began working in Owensboro Public Schools in 2011 and has served as assistant superintendent and chief academic officer.
In naming him superintendent the school board said, "Constant has led the district through this unprecedented time as the country battles the coronavirus, demonstrating composure, impeccable leadship and transparency with staff and families throughout the district closure."
Constant will keep the interim title through June 30, and officially become district superintendent on July 1.
"I am completely humbled to be the person to lead the district into our next decade," said Constant. "I absorbed a lot of knowledge and leadership from Dr. Nick Brake during his tenure and I hope to continue to build on the foundation he laid for the future."
Constant has also worked in Daviess County Schools as a high school principal and technology educator.
