Bartholomew Consolidated Schools have a new superintendent lined up.

The school board last night approved the $170,000 annual contract for Dr. Jim Roberts who now serves as superintendent of the Batesville school system. School Board Member Polly Verbanic said she was most impressed by Roberts’ desire to make BCSC not just an excellent school district, but the best school district.

Current superintendent Dr. John Quick is retiring at the end of this school year. Roberts will take office in July.
