Superintendent Search Update (1.24.22)

January 24, 2023

Hello KESD Board & Leadership,


After weeks of interviewing multiple candidates, conducting background checks, and considering what is in the best interest of the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ East School District, the superintendent search committee voted last evening to present Sean McMannon to the KESD Board for consideration as the District's next superintendent. Elaine Pinckney, the search consultant, connected with Sean this morning, and Sean indicated a strong interest in joining the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ East School District.


The KESD Board is planning a special board meeting on Monday, January 30th, at 6:00 pm for the Board to interview Sean. A meeting agenda is forthcoming. If the Board hires Sean, a public meet and greet event will be scheduled soon.


I would like to recognize and thank the superintendent search committee members who came together to work expeditiously through a thorough and collaborative interview process. Also, I want to thank our consultant, Elaine Pinckney, for carefully guiding us along the way.


If you have any questions regarding the superintendent hiring process, please get in touch with Elaine or me.


With gratitude,

Cynthia
