Board President Dr. Kristen Fauson stated, “We are pleased with the quality of applicants that demonstrated an interest in our school district, and we look forward to learning more about the candidates’ leadership abilities and how their vision will lead our district to continued success. It is our hope to have a new superintendent in place by July 1.”
The superintendent search became necessary as Daniel Behm retired after serving the district admirably for seventeen years. Dr. Sara Magaña Shubel is serving as the interim superintendent this school year. The search is being facilitated by Michigan Leadership Institute.
