Lorie LeQuatte will replace Matt Donkin as the new regional superintendent of schools in Franklin, Massac, Williamson and Johnson counties.

LeQuatte has served as principal of Project ECHO and STAR Quest Academy for the past decade. She was appointed yesterday by the county board chairman from the four counties in ROE 21 to serve out the remainder of Donkin’s term.

Donkin recently accepted a new job as West Frankfort’s superintendent of schools. His last day as regional superintendent will be June 30.
