IDAHO FALLS The Idaho Falls School District 91 Board of Trustees has extended a hiring offer to James Shank to become the next school superintendent.
Shank was the runner-up candidate during a previous search earlier this year. Last week, the district extended an offer to Eric Pingrey, an administrator from Minnesota. He initially accepted the district’s offer, but ultimately pulled out for a similar job in McCall.
On Thursday, the board interviewed Shank again and discussed him in executive session for several hours, according to a school district news release. Afterward, board members said, “it was clear Shank’s focus is on the education of all students.” Board members also said they appreciated his focus on community outreach, transparency, as well as his interest in career-technical education.
