School leader put on paid leave during investigation, then resigns
What happened
At an emergency meeting on March 3, 2026 the board followed its lawyer's advice and put the principal on paid administrative leave, effective immediately, while an investigation went on. Judith Billing, whom the board had given a three-year superintendent contract in January, resigned effective April 30.
Why it matters to families
Jordan's schools are run by one administrator. The board hired retired Broadus superintendent James Hansen as interim superintendent, and Julie Elias became principal for 2026-27. The minutes do not say what was investigated.
The evidence
March 3, 2026 emergency meeting minutes; the January 20 minutes record the contract, March 17 the interim hire and April 30 the resignation.
