The Waterford Graded School Board is seeking a new Superintendent to replace Edward Brzinski who is retiring at the end of this school year.
School Board members are looking to gather input from both staff and our community in regards to the hiring of a new superintendent. To allow for input and to provide transparency, we will be conducting a meet and greet with the three finalists.
The finalists will be at our building on Tuesday, February 1. Each candidate will rotate between a building tour, community forum hosted by Sloan Allen (Director of Curriculum and Student Growth) and Jane Aegerter (Director of Student and Staff Services), as well as a board interview.
The forums will begin at 5:00 PM here in the cafeteria on Tuesday, February 1. There will be an opportunity for you to write down questions for the staff facilitators to ask each candidate.
The community and staff in attendance will observe and listen to the candidates answers and then complete a form with your feedback for the school board to consider when selecting the final candidate.
