Milford Assistant Superintendent Tim Ackermann named for top job
The Kings Local School Board officially hired a new superintendent by a unanimous vote at a special board meeting on Monday, May 11.
Tim Ackermann, Assistant Superintendent of Milford Schools, beat out 31 candidates to secure the head position at Kings.
Ackermann has most recently worked in the Milford Exempted Village School District since 2007. He began his teaching career at Milford High School and also served as a middle school principal in the district. He became the assistant superintendent for the district after four years as Director of Human Resources and Special Education. Prior to his tenure in Milford, he worked for Reading Community City Schools as principal of Hilltop Elementary School from 2000-2007.
For the past four years as assistant superintendent, Mr. Ackermann worked closely with Milford Principals to help move the district’s Performance Index to over 106; has assisted in the planning of the construction of two new elementary buildings; and was instrumental in developing a plan to reduce Milford’s operating budget by 20 million dollars over a five year period. He has his Bachelors in Education from the University of Dayton and his Masters of Educational Administration from Xavier University.
Kings School Board Vice President Todd Overturf said, “I am excited about the leadership and experience that Tim Ackermann will bring to the Kings School District. He will help continue to keep us #KingsStrong for years to come!”
Mr. Ackermann was approved for a four year contract with a base salary of $126,000 per year.
Interim superintendent Timothy J. Spinner will assume his role as assistant superintendent on August 1.
An open house to “meet and greet” the new superintendent will take place at a later date.
