Colonial School District has a new superintendent.
The Colonial school board unanimously voted to hire Dusty Blakey to replace Dorothy Linn, who announced her retirement earlier this year.

“I am humbled and honored to be selected to lead the Colonial School District during a time of change and reform,' said Blakey in a statemennt. "I look forward to working with all constituents as we continue our quest to make certain every student is college and career ready.”
Blakey steps into the job July 1st. Linn’s final day is Monday.
