(KNZA)--A new Superintendent is selected to oversee the South Brown County Schools.
Chosen for the role of leadership is Jason Cline, whose hiring follows a special Monday night meeting of the USD 430 Board of Education.
Cline officially begins serving in the role on July 1.
He will replace current Superintendent Dr. Steve Davies, who is retiring at the end of the current school year.
According to a press release issued by School Board Chair Tim McClaskey, the board team feels Cline is the right selection to serve the students and the community.
Cline was one of three finalists seeking the position. The three were selected following input from a committee comprised of a cross section of school district members, including teachers, students, and patrons.
Cline currently serves as the Superintendent and PreK-12 grade principal of Hay Springs Public Schools in Hay Springs, Nebraska.
He has ties to the local area, once living in Atchison and teaching at the schools of USD 409, as well as time spent working for the Hiawatha public schools.
McClaskey says the board looks forward to welcoming Cline, his wife Heather, and two children, Courtney and Carson, to the local community.
