On Wednesday, April 14th, the third of three final candidate interviews took place, concluding the Board of Education’s search for the next Superintendent. After a short guided discussion with School Exec Connect consultants, Dr. David Vick and Dr. David Clough, the six board members unanimously chose Mark Raymond, Executive Director of Human Resources, of Austin MN.
