An area school district has promoted a couple of personnel to administration positions.
According to a news release, in closed session on Monday, April 16, the Sedalia School District 200 School Board approved the promotions of Chris Pyle and Dr. Todd Fraley to assistant superintendent roles.
Pyle currently is director of Special Services for the district, while Fraley is principal of Horace Mann Elementary. Both have extensive backgrounds inside and outside the district.
Pyle started with the Sedalia 200 district in January 2000 as a special-education teacher. He left the district and served as a special-education teacher in the Smithton School District from 2002 to 2005. He was promoted to be Smithton’s special services coordinator, junior-high assistant principal and federal programs director for 2005-06, then became that district’s high school assistant principal, athletic director and A+ coordinator for 2006-08. Pyle returned to Sedalia 200 in July 2008 as assistant principal at Sedalia Middle School and was promoted to director of special services in July 2012.
Fraley’s tenure with Sedalia 200 started in December 1997, when he was hired as a special-education teacher. He resigned at the end of the 1998-99 school year but returned in August 2000 as a special- education teacher at Smith-Cotton High School. He then served as special-education coordinator in 2003-04 and assistant principal at S-C from August 2004 until July 2011, when he became principal at Horace Mann.
Both will assume their new roles on July 1, 2018.
