Individuals and community groups may also attend two public sessions to offer comments to the search firm Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates Ltd. at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 9 or 11 a.m. Dec. 10 at school district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive.
Superintendent Randy Weseman has announced he will retire at the end of the school year.
