District news
New superintendent Ted Knight hired as Dan Snowberger retires
What happened
On May 12, 2026 the board was told that Superintendent Dan Snowberger would retire and a transition would follow. On May 21 it picked Ted Knight, the academic systems consultant, as the sole finalist after interviews. The board approved his revised contract on June 23. Board members said the contract has no golden parachute, given the budget.
Why it matters to families
The superintendent runs daily operations and proposes the budget, so a new leader arrives just as the district makes cuts.
The evidence
May 21 minutes record the vote 4-0 to select the sole finalist; the June 23 recording shows the vote on the revised contract.
