District news
Shawn Bush picked as next superintendent
What happened
In March 2026 the board hired Shawn Bush as superintendent on a three-year contract starting August 1, 2026. Superintendent Scot Gheen retired on July 31, 2026. Bush began work early on a short 'bridge' contract in June.
Why it matters to families
The superintendent runs the district day to day. Bush takes over while the district cuts jobs and works on a state-required plan to fix its budget.
