Russell County school board begins superintendent search

Search begins

The Russell County school board has begun a search for a new superintendent. The superintendent leads the school system, and the board is responsible for beginning the process of selecting the next person for the job.

The action marks the start of the search. The board’s decision concerns the leadership of Russell County schools.

What the board’s action means

A superintendent search is the process the school board uses to identify and select a new school system leader. The search will determine who is considered for the position and who is ultimately chosen by the board.

The board has begun that process, but the selection has not been completed.

Next steps to watch

The Russell County school board’s search process will show how the board moves from opening the search to selecting a superintendent. Future announcements may identify the process, the timeline and the person chosen for the job.

For now, the confirmed development is that the search has started.
