Noblesville Schools announced Tuesday the appointment of Erin Rood and Amy Roberts as co-directors of special education for the district, replacing former director Mark Booth.

Rood will oversee elementary special education and Roberts will oversee secondary. The new co-director format eliminates the assistant special education director position and rebalances the salaries of the former roles to avoid increased staffing and personnel costs.
Rood, who holds a master’s degree and exceptional needs licensure in special education from Ball State University, is the district’s assistant director of special education and is currently serving as interim director. Prior to her role with Noblesville Schools she was the special education director for Sheridan Schools and a former special education teacher.
Roberts currently serves as the assistant director of special services for Carmel Clay Schools and prior to that served for 10 years as the assistant special education director at Avon Community Schools. She also holds a master’s degree and exceptional needs licensure from Ball State University.
“Erin and Amy are both highly-qualified, well-respected, compassionate leaders,” said Noblesville Schools Associate Superintendent Dr. Dave Mundy. “I’m confident they will be a strong team in providing our students, staff and families exceptional support, service and guidance.”
