Our Board of Education is excited to partner with Hazard, Young, and Attea (HYA), a national consulting firm, to begin the search for our next district administrator for the School District of Marathon City. Along with posting for the position, HYA will assist through:
- Gathering input from students, staff, and the community
- Recruitment of candidates
- Guide the search
In the coming days, weeks, and months, the group will work to connect with these stakeholders and gather information on what our community is looking for in our next district administrator. Please return to this page often for updates, information, and progress in our search for our next district administrator.
