‘I'm not going to say we got lucky with Rocky, but …’ After a surprise retirement, West Lafayette recalls recent history as it starts a search for a new school superintendent
Dave, I always appreciate your work and role in informing our community. One thing to clarify from my perspective as one WLCSC Board member is that we have yet to set any level of the process with the exception of hiring Steve Wittenauer's firm. We said that the Board will conduct the interviewing and hiring, which is the same roadmap we utilized 14 years ago when Dr. Killion was hired and one of the most important roles an elected school board has. But what we didn't say last night was that there won't be anyone else besides Board members on the hiring committee. We indicated last night that the process will include stakeholder, teacher, parent and student input. That process will begin to be determined when we meet with Steve Wittenauer in the next few weeks. So stay tuned.
Killion...a stellar advocate of public education. I fully admire his methods and love of what he saw needing done.
