Rob Saxton will become the interim superintendent for Greater Albany Public Schools for up to a year, the Albany school board decided in a special meeting Monday.
Board members voted 4-1, with Michael Thomson dissenting, to extend the interim offer to Saxton, effective immediately, for 190 contract days at a base salary of $150,000.
Saxton will be out of state for much of August but said he would delegate instructions to staff and would be back for all-staff inservice in September.
