Obermark Named BES Principal

The Bourbon School Board voted October 18 to amend Joe Obermark’s position to elementary school principal.

Obermark was serving as interim principal after Kristi Hale was unable to return to the role at the beginning of the school year.

Bourbon Superintendent Patricia Thompson said Hale was contracted to return for a second year at BES, but due to personal reasons, stepped away from the job. 

“When it became apparent to her she was not going to be able to return at all this year, she made the decision to retire,” Thompson said.

Obermark was originally employed to serve as the Director of Transportation and Safety along with Districtwide Assistant Principal. 

Prior to this year, Obermark was the director for the band and choir. Hale was hired in 2017 to succeed Annette Burdette, who retired at the end of that school year.
