Quick Summary / Abstract: Our Board of Education intends to appoint a new Superintendent of Schools.
Background: Upon the announcement of Dr. Bowers' intent to retire after 34+ years in Public Education, on June 14, 2022 our Board approved a Contract with Leadership Associates, a highly regarded and reputable search firm, to facilitate an accelerated pre-screening, and to help guide and assist our Board in conducting an in-depth interview, selection and contract negotiation process in order to have a new Superintendent in place for the start of the 2022-2023 academic year, with allowances for some time for crossover transition and training.
