BENTONVILLE (KFSM) — The Bentonville School Board announced they had chosen an interim superintendent on Tuesday (May 17).

Debbie Jones was named to the interim position on Monday (May 16) during a school board meeting, according to a press release. The board voted 5-0 to appoint Jones to the position that is being vacated by Michael Poore, who will take over at the Little Rock School District on July 1.

Jones has been the deputy superintendent of federal programs at the district since February 2016. Prior to joining the Bentonville School District, she worked as assistant commissioner for learning services at the Arkansas Department of Education.

“I’m honored to be given the opportunity to support the teachers, administrators, staff and community during the transition of leadership,” said Jones in the release. “I look forward to supporting the innovative initiatives as well as the transition to two premier high schools in the district.”
