The Monroe School Board members are seeking advice on the experiences and characteristics the community would like to see in the next public schools superintendent by hosting drop-in sessions and an online survey.
Monroe Public Schools Superintendent Ken Hoover announced in the fall, that he intends to retire at the end of the current school year on June 30. Hired in 2006, Hoover is completing his ninth year in that role and his 27th year in public education. He also served nine additional years in public service.
"My School Board colleagues and I want a new leader selected by early spring to ensure a smooth transition for our students, staff and community,GÇ¥ said School Board President Katy Woods. "To hire the very best person, we need the community's help. We will keep all of the advice provided in mind as we review applications and interview candidates.GÇ¥
