NICKERSON, Kan. — The Nickerson USD 309 School Board is putting their search for a new superintendent into motion.
The Board heard a presentation from the Kansas Association of School Boards who will lead the search to fill the vacant position. The Board has set a timeline of just four weeks to find a replacement for Dr. Dawn Johnson who is now the Executive Director of Human Resources for Hutchinson USD 308.
The KASB will assemble a subcommittee made up of teachers, staff and community leaders along with students to find out what they want in a new superintendent. If all goes as planned, they hope to have an offer to their candidate of choice by mid-April.
Also Monday night, the Board approved the school calendar for the year and held a lengthy discussion on what to do about the softball field. The district uses both Fun Valley and the Nickerson city diamond for games. The city diamond is in need of repairs and Fun Valley is off-site.
The district has been entertaining the idea of building a new softball field adjacent to the current baseball field at the high school. No action was taken.
