HELENA â Helena School District trustees have chosen the top two candidates to become the districtâs next superintendent.
The school board held online interviews with five semifinalists Wednesday and Thursday. After the last interview, they unanimously selected two finalists:
· Kevin Aten, superintendent of the Bayfield School District in Bayfield, Colorado
· Rex Weltz, principal of Rossiter Elementary School and former superintendent of the Polson School District
Board chair Luke Muszkiewicz said trustees had good interviews with all the semifinalists, but they felt Aten and Weltz were the strongest candidates to lead the district.
Meanwhile, school district officials have notified parents of the students on the bus. Counselors are on standby for any student who requires assistance.
