Candidates Narrowed in Superintendent Search

By Brian Hagen

(KAIR)--Three candidates are now in the running for the position of Superintendent for the South Brown County Schools.

That follows a series of executive sessions held as part of a special Monday evening meeting of the Board of Education for USD 430.

Each of the six closed door sessions were held to discuss personnel matters of non-elected personnel to protect the privacy interest of the individual, or individuals, to be discussed.

The apparent focus of each session was placed on applicants for the Superintendent position.

The two and-a-half hour meeting was held mostly behind closed doors for that purpose.

Following the conclusion of the final executive session, the School Board voted to interview the three finalists.

Their names will not be made public until the day of their respective interviews, which are scheduled to happen Wednesday, Friday, and February 1st.

The Kansas Association of School Boards has been assisting the district with the search process, utilizing focus groups to determine what is desired in a new Superintendent.

The need to fill the position comes as Dr. Steve Davies plans to retire at the end of the current school year.

He announced his decision in July.

He has served as Superintendent for the South Brown County Schools for 16-years.
