(KAIR)--The USD 409 Board of Education will soon begin looking for a new superintendent of schools.
That’s according to retiring superintendent Dr. Susan Myers, who tells MSC News the board voted to employ the Kansas Association of School Boards to work with them in searching for a new superintendent.
The process is tentatively scheduled to start in December, and will include various meetings and the development of a characteristics profile of the new superintendent.
According to Myers, the board would like to have the next person named to the position by February, if possible.
The new superintendent would officially begin serving on July 1st.
Myers announced her decision to retire earlier this month, and the board formally accepted her retirement during their Monday meeting.
Myers will serve through the remainder of the school year.
Myers is involved in numerous civic organizations and boards in the Atchison community, and says she has no specific plans to leave Atchison in the foreseeable future.
