Julie Edge was responding to a Tynwald question from Douglas North MHK, David Ashford.
She said Adrian Shorthouse - who is now in charge of Kewaigue and Scoill yn Jubilee and Max Kelly, who's the head of Dhoon, Laxey and Willaston - were qualified and experienced.
She also shut down speculation that their appointments were made as a cost saving measure:
