During their monthly meeting, held on February 18, 2020, the Covington Community School Corporation Board – of – Trustees accepted the retirement notices of two outstanding individuals, Chris Willis and Mike Thompson. Ms. Willis has spent 23 years teaching English at the high school, while Mr. Thompson totals 30 years of experience in education.
“We are losing two outstanding teachers,” said CCSC Board President Carolyn Lloyd.
“Ms. Willis and Mr. Thompson have positively impacted many individuals throughout their careers,” corporation superintendent Kevin Smith stated. “While we will miss them dearly the board and I wish Chris and Mike nothing but success as they take this next step in their lives.”
In other business, the board heard an update on the state of the Wabash River Special Services Cooperative from WRSSC Director Jill Coffing. The CCSC board serves as the Local Education Agency (LEA) for the cooperative.

“The first priority is to develop, support, and maintain specifically designed instructional programs for students with disabilities,” Coffing stated. “We also focus on providing collaborative support and services to the special education personnel, while working to maintain excellence in Federal and State compliance.”
Coffing noted that the WRSSC has 17 total staff members serving seven (7) school corporations, Attica, Covington, M.S.D. of Warren County, North Central Parke, North Vermillion, Southeast Fountain, and Southwest Parke. The cooperative staff serves a total of 20 individual school buildings, 65 special education teachers, and 1277 students.
“The board gained a greater appreciation for the work the cooperative performs on behalf of their students during the meeting,” CCSC Superintendent Kevin Smith noted. “Ms. Coffing and her team do a wonderful job for our school – communities.”
