Trent Arena services set for former Kettering superintendent
May 13—Services are scheduled Wednesday for a former Kettering City Schools superintendent who died May 8.
Lyle "Scott" Inskeep, 62, of Crossville, Tenn., was Kettering's superintendent for eight years before retiring in August 2022.
A visitation is set from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Trent Arena, 3301 Shroyer Road, according to his obituary. A Celebration of Life will follow immediately after.
Current Kettering Superintendent Mindy McCarty-Stewart said Inskeep's death was unexpected.
"The Inskeep family would like everyone to know that the Kettering community held a very special place in Scott's heart, and he was so grateful for his time spent being a part of the Kettering City Schools and our Kettering community," McCarty-Smith said in announcement on the district's Facebook page.
"Please join me in keeping the Inskeep family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time," she added.
Before coming to Kettering, Inskeep was superintendent of the Reading Community City School District near Cincinnati.
A Cincinnati native, he received a basketball scholarship to Otterbein College after graduating from Lockland High School in 1979, according to his obituary. Inskeep earned a bachelor's degree in elementary/secondary education at Otterbein before graduating from Xavier University with a master's degree in educational administration.
He was a biology teacher at Mason Middle School before becoming a principal in that district.
