Middle School Principal Interviews To Take Place

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

On May 18, 2018 the District posted a Middle School Principal position on the OPI, Handshake and the District website. The position was vacated by the resignation of Pax Haslem that was accepted on May 16, 2018.


The District has three candidates that have submitted applications.  We will interview on May 29, 2018. Due to the late resignation and time-line, we are working very quickly. At this juncture in the hiring process for principals, time is of the essence.


Here is the schedule:

The “Interviews” will be conducted by the administrative cabinet in the Central Board Room. The interviews will be posted and are held in public, but this process restricts public interaction during the interviews  in order to maintain EEOC compliances. For this reason, if staff or community members would like to informally meet the candidates, we have scheduled an opportunity “Meet & Greet” in the Middle School Conference Room. Tashel Brunmeier will host the “Meet & Greet” and see that the candidates are available at the scheduled times.


Building Tours”  will be hosted by middle school students selected by Pax Haslem.


After all interviews, the interview committee will meet and provide a recommendation; as superintendent, I will contact the selected candidate for acceptance. Once the candidate has accepted the recommendation, it will be presented to the Board for consideration at the June 5, 2018 Special Board Meeting starting at 6:00 PM in the Central Board Room.
