Mr. Joseph
Cosby has been selected as the Human Resource and Transportation Director for
Allen County Schools.
Mr. Cosby has
been in education for more than 18 years all in Allen County Schools. Mr. Cosby
has been serving as the principal at Allen County-Scottsville High School
(ACSHS) for the last three years. Prior to his current position, he has served
the district as Director of Allen County Career and Technical Center and as an
automotive instructor.
“Mr. Cosby has
done a great job serving Allen County Schools throughout his career, '' said
Superintendent, Travis Hamby. “He has demonstrated strong leadership in his
role as principal at ACSHS and is deeply committed to the success of our
district. Mr. Cosby has a working knowledge of school transportation, having
annually completed the Driver Trainer Certification, and possesses a background
in diesel mechanics. I am excited to have Mr. Cosby in this new role and look
forward to working with him to create a strong human resources division to
better serve our employees.”
“I have enjoyed
my tenure here as a teacher and as an administrator and appreciate having had
the opportunity to have a positive impact on student’s lives, but it is time
for a new chapter in my life,” said Cosby. “I have been given the opportunity
for a new challenge as the Director of Human Resources and Transportation at
the Central Office. In this new role, I must be willing to adapt to meet the
needs of the district. I know there will be a steady flow of demands from the
District’s stakeholders. These needs will require a certain amount of finesse,
patience and flexibility to maintain positive and supportive relationships
while maintaining a handle on adherence to our District’s and State’s policies,
procedures and regulations. Considering the precious cargo that rides school
buses every day, the safety of students will be a main priority, especially
with the COVID-19 pandemic creating a whole new set of challenges for the
Director of Transportation.”
Mr. Cosby will
begin his duties as Human Resource and Transportation Director once a
replacement has been selected for ACSHS. Mr. Cosby will be replacing
Transportation Director, Mr. Roger Weaver, who is retiring at the end of July.
