The search for a new superintendent for USD 253 Emporia Public Schools is set to officially begin Wednesday.
During their regular meeting, Board of Education members may approve a search agreement with the Kansas Association of School Boards. KASB Deputy Executive Director Dr. Brian Jordan will be in attendance to present the contract to the board.
An academic report detailing kindergarten readiness, graduation rates and post-secondary education information will also be presented. During the consent agenda portion of the meeting, where several items may be approved with a single vote, the board may accept the retirement request of Mobilizing Literacy Director Jodi Case.
Case’s retirement comes just two and a half weeks after the resignation of her husband Kevin Case as Superintendent.
A hazardous materials abatement for Emporia High School will also see consideration during the meeting which is set to begin at 7 pm inside the Mary Herbert Education Center and will be viewable on the district’s website USD253.org.
