Jill Abraham resigns; interim deputy superintendent expected by April 1

Jill Abraham has resigned as Bexley City Schools’ deputy superintendent to return to the district where she began her career.

During its March 9 meeting, the board of education accepted Abraham’s resignation, effective March 31. She will start April 1 as assistant superintendent at Hilliard City Schools.

“I am super excited to join a fabulous team (and) can’t wait to get to work,” Abraham said of her new job.

District spokesman Tyler Trill said an interim deputy superintendent would be in place by April 1.

“The interim deputy superintendent will provide necessary supports associated with this role to our students and staff,” Trill said.

Board President Victoria Powers said Abraham’s decision was “bittersweet.”

“We are excited for Jill in her new opportunity as assistant superintendent of Hilliard City Schools,” she said.  “Jill previously spent close to two decades at Hilliard and returning there is a wonderful homecoming for her, though bittersweet for us at Bexley. Jill has brought a student-centered focus to her work at Bexley, and has been a tremendous leader, collaborator and advocate for our students.”
