What happened

On April 30, 2026 the board accepted Judith Billing's resignation, effective that day. She had worked for the district for 37 years and had been given a new three-year contract in January. Retired Broadus superintendent James Hansen had been hired on March 17 as interim superintendent through June 30, 2026.

Why it matters to families

The district had to find a new leader for 2026-27 while also struggling to fill teaching jobs.

The evidence

The April 30, 2026 special meeting minutes record the motion accepting the resignation. The March 17 minutes record the interim hire and the January 20 minutes the three-year contract.
