The Westview School Board has extended an offer to Dr. Jaime Carroll to serve as the next superintendent at Westview School Corporation. Dr. Carroll has agreed in principle to the offer and a public vote will be taken after Indiana's and the Westview legal hiring process for school superintendents is completed. The hearing regarding the superintendent contract is January 8th. Per Westview policy the official approval/vote will be at least seven days after the hearing with Dr. Carroll starting February 2, 2026. The date for the approval vote has not been set yet. Dr. Zimmerly will continue as interim superintendent until Dr. Carroll is able to start and for a short transition period.
Dr Carroll was chosen from a pool of twelve candidates. The board interviewed seven candidates and completed an extensive vetting process once Dr. Carroll was selected as the finalist.
Dr. Jaime Carroll currently serves as the Curriculum Director for Whitko Community Schools. Prior to joining Whitko she worked 27 years at East Noble School Corporation, serving in a variety of instructional and leadership capacities, including her final eight years as Principal of Wayne Center Elementary School. In addition, Dr. Carroll served as an adjunct professor in the School of Education for Ivy Tech Community College for eight years and spent four years mentoring principals across the state through the Indiana Principal Leadership Institute.
Jaime's background, personality and experience is a close match to the superintendent traits identified in the survey we conducted as part of our hiring process. We are very excited to have her joining Westview School Corporation.
For the Westview Board,
Keith Lambright, President
We look forward to seeing all of our students back refreshed and ready to learn on Monday, December 1st!
