District 9 School Board Candidates Favor Local Search For Superintendent Applicants; See Pandemic Recovery, Elimination Of Social Issues As Critical
Tuesday, July 27, 2021 - by Dennis Norwood
Prior to Tuesday evening’s District 9 School Board Forum, County Commissioner and former school board member Dr. Steve Highlander iterated that he was looking for someone who will work with the district’s families and the community. As it turned out each of the eight candidates vying for the position all expressed this characteristic in their comments and answers to questions posed by community members.
In what was most likely the most important question asked at the forum, every candidate replied that they were in favor of a local search for the next school superintendent.
