Three new administrators with New London schools

NEW LONDON — New London Local Schools welcomed three new administrators at its June board of education meeting. The three new hires began their three-year contracts, effective Aug. 1. Kara Griswold has been named New London's director of student services. Griswold was most recently an intervention specialist with Keystone High School in LaGrange. Griswold had been with Keystone Local Schools since 2009, where she also worked as a cheer coach. She earned her master's degree in educational leadership from Concordia University. Jennifer Yost will be joining New London Elementary School as principal. Yost will leave her current position as principal at Furry Elementary School in the Perkins Local School District in Sandusky. Yost earned her master's degree in education from Bowling Green State University and had been with Perkins Local Schools since 2001, first as a teacher before becoming Furry principal in 2015. Stephanie Glasure will be New London's director of instruction and innovation. She will oversee all curriculum and instruction programming for New London Schools, including the gifted and talented and professional learning programs. Glasure had been with Carrollton Exempted Village Schools since 2003, when she was a fifth-grade science teacher. She most recently was director of curriculum, instruction and assessment for Carrollton, a position she has held since 2018. "I'm so grateful for this opportunity," Glasure said. "New London Schools is a fantastic district that strives to be at the forefront of education. I look forward to working with Mr. (Brad) Romano, the board of education, our wonderful teachers and students and everyone in the New London community to help our district succeed like never before." New London Local Schools Superintendent Brad Romano said the three newcomers bring a lot to their positions and will help elevate the district. "Mrs. Glasure, Mrs. Yost and Mrs. Griswold are excellent additions to the New London family," Romano said. "Their experience and dedication to education and their students will help them fit right in with our district. They each bring a unique perspective, innovative ideas and a positive attitude. We're very excited for all they will contribute to New London Local Schools." For more information on New London Local Schools, visit https://www.nlschools.org.
