Smith-Cotton High School Principal Steve Triplett has been named assistant superintendent of Sedalia School District 200, filling the opening created when Brad Pollitt was selected to be the district’s next superintendent.
The school board approved Triplett’s hiring during its closed session Monday night. Pollitt and Triplett both will take their new positions July 1. Pollitt said Triplett will add to an already strong team at the district’s central office.
