Monte Moffett, who
served as assistant superintendent of the Duneland School Corporation for 17
years, is announcing his candidacy for the at-large seat on the Duneland
School Board.
“Moffett has
devoted his administrative career to students, families, faculty, and staff
in the Duneland region,” according to a statement released to the
Chesterton Tribune late on Tuesday.
Moffett most
recently served, 2013-19, as assistant superintendent for operations and
human resources; and 2003-13 as assistant superintendent for curriculum and
instruction.
Moffett previously
served as principal, assistant principal, and athletic director of River
Forest High School, in addition to numerous teaching and coaching positions
at other Indiana high schools since 1978.
“Moffett is
committed to high-quality education, especially during the pandemic,” the
statement said. “He believes the Duneland School Corporation needs to find
creative ways to safely continue its world-class and innovative curriculum
while maintaining fiscal responsibility for students and staff.”
“Duneland is my
home,” Moffett said. “We have lived in this community for 25 years and I
served as assistant superintendent for 17 of those years. I feel the
knowledge and experience gained as a high-level administrator has prepared
me to best serve the community as a member of the Duneland School Board.”
Moffett’s wife of
32 years, Karen Moffett, is department chair of School Counseling at
Chesterton High School; and their son, Trey, is a 2014 CHS graduate.
