Dear Hiawatha and South Brown County Communities,
On behalf of the Brown County Special Education Interlocal Board, I am excited to announce the unanimous approval and appointment of Mr. John West as our new Director of Special Education.
Mr. West brings over 25 years of educational experience, including 15 years in international education, and has taught students from grades 3 through 12. Most recently, he served as superintendent at Altoona-Midway, where he focused on building inclusive and engaging learning environments.
The Board is confident that Mr. West’s leadership, global perspective, and passion for student success will be a tremendous asset to our schools and communities. We look forward to the positive impact he will make in the lives of our students and families.
Please join us in welcoming Mr. West to Brown County!
