GWINN Calling him “a good fit” and “willing to listen,” the Gwinn Area Community Schools Board of Education unanimously decided on Tuesday to enter into negotiations with Brandon Bruce, current principal at downstate Hart High School, to be the next GACS superintendent.
Current Superintendent Sandy Petrovich plans to retire effective July 1. She took over the superintendent role from Tom Jayne late in 2017. Petrovich had a daunting task in front of her, with the district facing a budget deficit of over $400,000 at one point. Now, the district is financially stable.
Voters also approved a sinking fund millage for the school district in March 2020 after the request previously failed twice.
