Monica Coburn has resigned her 10-year position as the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp.’s manager of transportation.
Her last day is Nov. 19, after which she will take an equivalent position with Franklin Township Schools in Marion County.
“BCSC gave me the latitude to build a department that I’m proud of,” Coburn said. “I’ll have a lot of good memories.”
She said part of the reason she resigned is to be closer to family.
John Quick, superintendent of the Bartholomew Consolidated school system, said he has advertised the opening and hopes to have a replacement by the time Coburn leaves.
