The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG – Inclement weather, combined with other factors, resulted in fewer than anticipated applications for the soon-to-be-open Waitsburg School District Superintendent position, according to retiring Superintendent Dr. Carol Clarke. In response, the superintendent search timeline has been extended.

The deadline for applications has been moved from Feb. 17 to March 10. Preliminary interviews, originally slated for March 7-8, will take place March 21-22. Final interviews will be held March 28-31 with site visits, background checks, and contract negotiations taking place in early Arpil 14.

The contract is scheduled to be offered on or before April. The new superintendent will assume duties on July 1.
