Board picks Zeal Education Group for a $35,000 superintendent search
What happened
On Nov. 3, 2026 the board was asked to approve a contract with Zeal Education Group for $35,000, plus up to $10,000 for travel and costs, to help find the next superintendent. The board approved the request for proposals on Sept. 18, interviewed two firms (Zeal Education Group and HYA) on Oct. 22, and the Nov. 12 agenda renumbers the contract resolution as 305-26.
Why it matters to families
The new superintendent is expected to start July 1, 2027. The search firm will shape how candidates are found and how families and staff get a say.
