NICKERSON, Kan. — Representatives with the Kansas Association of School Boards met with patrons, teachers and stakeholders in the Nickerson USD 309 School District on Wednesday as the district continues its search for a new superintendent.
According to Sue Givens with the KASB, the meetings went well. Givens says the meetings were very positive and many were in agreement on two key abilities of the next superintendent — a person that can communicate and a person that can unite the district.
The second could prove a challenge with a deeply-divided district and a board that has been reluctant to budge in its stance on things. It’s a board that was deeply divided over the failed bond issue.
Although she could not release details, Givens said the response to the vacancy has been good. Tentative plans are for the USD 309 board to hold an executive session next week to get a list of finalists, then begin those interviews the week of April 12 with the new superintendent named before the end of the month.
