The decision came two weeks after the board accepted the sudden resignation of Brian Olivera, who had been principal for the past two years. Former North Middle School Principal Barbara Cox filled the position on an interim basis.
The district posted the following information on its website:
Serving Joplin Schools for over twenty years, Mr. Jason Riddle has a long history of dedication and commitment to the district and community. With a sixteen-year tenure as the McKinley physical education teacher, Riddle is ready to return to serve as principal. He currently serves as the assistant principal of North Middle School since 2015.
Dr. Moss, superintendent, stated, “Mr. Riddle has loyally served the students of Joplin School District for many years, even teaching at McKinley Elementary to which he will now return as principal.
What came through loud and clear during his interview was Mr. Riddle's love and care for McKinley students and staff. He has articulated a positive vision for McKinley and is deeply committed to bringing that vision to fruition.
We know that student safety and learning will be well attended to under Mr. Riddle's leadership."
Riddle earned a bachelors degree in physical education from Missouri Southern State University and a masters degree in educational administration from William Woods University.
The district will begin taking applications to fill the North Middle School assistant position as Mr. Riddle begins his transition to McKinley.
