After a three-month search and recruiting process, the West Bend School District Board of Education has made its preliminary decision to extend an offer for the Superintendent of Schools position.
The board understands the importance of giving this process the highest level of attention and will conduct a thorough background check, along with a complete credentials review prior to making a formal offer to the preferred candidate. The final negotiated contract will be reviewed and approved by the school district’s attorney to assure it meets all statutory and legal requirements.
It is expected that the new superintendent will be announced by June 15, 2016, and will officially assume duties on July 1, 2016.
Rick Parks, President of the West Bend School Board, commented, “I am pleased with the work the board has completed on this search and am grateful for the many hours they all devoted to this. Partnering with our recruiter, School Exec Connect, and including the community, parents, teachers, support staff and administrators in the process gave the board important insight on the qualities and experience needed by our new Superintendent. The candidate pool was strong and the process will result in an outstanding hire.”
