Board hires Gena Ramey as superintendent for 2026-27
What happened
On July 20, 2026 the board voted 5-0 to approve Gena Ramey as superintendent for the 2026-27 school year and removed Mike Page, the previous superintendent and principal, from district bank accounts. Ramey was named the sole finalist on July 6 and her name was posted for 14 days first. The board also set the principal's pay at $70,000 on a 4-1 vote.
Why it matters to families
The superintendent runs this very small district day to day, and the change follows public calls at the spring meetings for new leadership.
