KENDALLVILLE â East Noble Superintendent Ann Linson will be leading the district for just a little bit longer past her retirement date. East Noble is in the process of hiring her replacement, but will need just a little more time beyond June 30 to finish up the process. On Wednesday, the school board approved a contract to keep Linson on staff as interim superintendent for a short period, contracting at a daily rate of $650 per day for time worked effective July 1. East Noble is in the process of hiring a replacement for Linson, who announced in March she would retire effective June 30 after 11 years leading the district.
