HSE Administrators Dowling & Lake resign

The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board has accepted the resignations of Chief Financial Officer Katy Dowling and Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Lake, at the Wednesday evening board session.

Dowling has served as the district’s Chief Financial Officer since June of 2021.  Lake has served as COO for HSE Schools since May of 2022.  The item posted on the school board agenda says each of their contracts have been “paid in full.”

The board approved the consent agenda unanimously, which contained approval of those two resignations.

There have been a number of changes in the HSE Schools administration lately, starting with the resignation of previous superintendent Yvonne Stokes last September, then the recent hiring of Patrick Mapes as the HSE Schools Superintendent.
