The details During his report at the board’s meeting June 24, Bryan said the job posting for the superintendent position closed on June 15 and the district received 25 applications. “We have reviewed those applications and have selected those in which we have an interest in inviting for an interview,” Bryan said. The interview process started the week of July 1, Bryan said, and the board is planning to have a new superintendent in place prior to Ledbetter leaving at the end of August.
During his report at the board’s regular meet- ing on June 24, Superintendent Lane Ledbetter addressed concerns about teachers quitting the profession, and where he and his staff stood in terms of hiring new teachers for the upcoming school year. He said there are currently nine open teaching positions in the district, with four of those for special education teachers. “That’s much further along than where we’ve been [at this point] in the past two or three years in terms of hiring,” Ledbetter said. Zooming in In terms of teachers leaving the district, Ledbetter said 78 made the decision to leave at the end of the 2023-24 school year, which compares to 112 last year at the same time. “Numbers wise, we’re doing much better than we did last year, so I feel like we’re moving in the right direction,” Ledbetter said.
