Coeur d'Alene School District Superintendent Shon Hocker will not be taking a superintendent position with the Pueblo School District in Pueblo, Colo.
Trustees of the Pueblo School Board voted 3-2 to offer the job to another candidate. Hocker was one of two finalists being considered.
"It became very clear to me that Pueblo, Colo. was not a good fit for me and my family," Hocker said in a letter to district staff, sent Monday afternoon to The Press.
A little kindness goes a long way.
Tokens of appreciation were spread Tuesday morning throughout schools in Post Falls as members of the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce delivered baskets of goodies to say "thank you" to teachers and staff members for their dedication to their students and school communities.
Coeur d'Alene School District Superintendent Shon Hocker is seeking a superintendent job in another state.
Hocker, who has led the Coeur d'Alene School District since July 1, 2021, is one of two finalists vying for the position of superintendent in the Pueblo School District in Pueblo, Colo. He was in Boise attending the Idaho Law Conference with three school board trustees earlier this week, but will travel to Pueblo for the final interview today. In a Monday letter to families, Hocker said he expects the Pueblo trustees to select the superintendent shortly after the final interviews.
