The Camas school board said it will use a search firm to find a one-year interim superintendent for 2021-22 and conduct a search next school year for the permanent replacement of the school district’s top administrator.
The school board met with community leaders, cabinet administration and staff before deciding on which direction to go to replace outgoing Superintendent Jeff Snell, who’s served in that role since 2016. He begins his new post as Vancouver Public Schools’ superintendent July 1.
The decision by the board was made following an executive session during Tuesday’s regular board meeting.
“We heard from the community the value of this position, and in order to take the next step, it will take time for evaluation as we refine our path forward,” board President Tracey Malone said.
