(Batesville, Ind.) - The Batesville Community School Corporation is getting closer to hiring a new assistant principal at Batesville Middle School.
The vacancy recently opened up following the resignation of Justin Tucker, who has accepted the principal position at Benjamin Rush Middle School in Rushville.
In March of this year, Tucker was named as one of three national finalists for the 2025 Assistant Principal of the Year for Middle Level Schools.
Tucker qualified for national consideration after he was selected as the 2024 Indiana Assistant Principal of the Year by the Indiana Association of School Principals last November. Before that honor, he was first named Assistant Principal of District 10, which is composed of Dearborn, Decatur, Fayette, Franklin, Hancock, Jennings, Ripley, Rush, Shelby, and Union Counties.
At this week's school board meeting, Superintendent Paul Ketchum said that the candidates to replace Tucker has been narrowed down to two.
It is possible that a recommendation is made to the board for approval at their July meeting.
