CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) Valley City School Board President Joyce Braunagel said, Our school district has an exciting opportunity this year to do something we haven’t had to do in eighteen years. We have an important job of hiring a new superintendent for our district. She said our board started this process this summer, and now we are looking for input from our students, staff, and the community as to what characteristics or qualifications you would like to see in a new superintendent.

Jon Martinson, Executive Director of the North Dakota School Board Association, has been working with the board to help coordinate this process. Dr Martinson and board members will be meeting with students and staff in the afternoon on Monday, October 19th. Braunagel said we are encouraging all community members to join us at 6:30 PM in the HAC Lobby.

She said we will begin advertising this position on November 15th and interviews will start the first week in February. We hope to be able to make an announcement by the middle of February. The hiring of a new superintendent is an important decision for our community and we would love to hear from you.

The New Superintendent Search Public Input Meeting Will Be Held Monday, October 19th at  6:30 PM, HAC Lobby. The public is encouraged to attend.

Superintendent Dean Koppelman will retire at the end of the school year in the spring of 2016 after serving with the district for 18 years.
