Board hires a search firm as the superintendent prepares to retire
What happened
On October 8, 2026 the board discussed and moved to hire a firm for a superintendent search for about $11,300. The board said the current superintendent hinted he might retire in November 2027, and the search would start this fall.
Why it matters to families
