NEWPORT, KY (WKRC) — The Newport superintendent who stepped away from the district earlier in 2025 is now barred from being a superintendent in Kentucky.
Tony Watts stepped away from his superintendent role after a disagreement with the school board. Watt’s attorney, Ed Massey, said Watts and the board did not agree on ways to improve the district’s financial troubles. So, they came to a $175,000 buyout agreement, which became final in June.
