Uintah School District swears in new business administrator, Troy Timothy

Troy Timothy was sworn in as the Uintah School District’s business administrator at the board’s Jan. 8 meeting in Naples.

The Hon. Greg Grama administered the oath of office. Board members and the superintendent welcomed Timothy, who began work Monday before the meeting and was described by the superintendent as a bright addition to district leadership. In brief remarks Timothy thanked the board and community for the welcome and said he looks forward to working with district staff.

The board noted Kim Barnhurst, the interim business administrator, has been providing continuity during the staffing transition and that the district will rely on her experience as Timothy becomes acquainted with district operations.

Why it matters
A business administrator handles budgeting, contracts and financial operations; the district said bringing Timothy on staff is intended to support district finance and operations during a period of enrollment and budget uncertainty.
