Elkhart Community Schools has confirmed that superintendent Rob Haworth has tendered his resignation.
In a statement Haworth and the school board cited his need to be closer to family. Haworth is awaiting board approval to be the new superintendent of Vigo County School Corporation in Terre Haute.
Haworth was the champion of the Elkhart Promise, a $33 million plan to reorganise the school district, merging the two high schools, creating a freshman academy, and overhauling curriculum pathways.
Haworth has been with ECS since 2012. Before that he was the superintendent of Valparaiso schools.
The Elkhart School Board said in statement they will look to replace Haworth quickly with an interim superintendent to avoid undue disruption to the district’s students.
