WISD school board special meeting Wednesday will determine finalists for superintendent position

By Kyle Feldscher

A special meeting to determine finalists for the open superintendent position will be conducted Wednesday by the Washtenaw Intermediate School District Board of Education at 5:30 p.m. at the district's building, 1819 Wagner Road.

Board members are attempting to fill the position left by William Miller, who retired from the WISD in December after 12 years as superintendent.

Six candidates remain. They are Christine Beardsley, superintendent of the Oscoda Area Schools; David Campbell, superintendent of the Olivet Community Schools; Daniel Danosky, superintendent of the Pinckney Community Schools; Thomas Goodney, deputy superintendent and chief of staff at the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio; Beverly Knox-Pipes, assistant superintendent for technology and media services at the Genessee Intermediate School District and Scott Menzel, superintendent of the Livingston Educational Service Agency.

Danosky was added to the list of candidates last week after Thomas Langdon, superintendent of Big Rapids Public Schools, accepted the superintendent position in Sturgis Public Schools.

Beardsley, Campbell, Knox-Pipes and Menzel were interviewed by the board last week. Goodney and Danosky will interview at 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday, respectively.

Finalists will be called back for second interviews, according to WISD spokesperson Gerri Allen.

Once again, Washtenaw has no qualified local talent.

This district serves other districts within the region. What should happen is that all these districts join together, consolidate and continue to offer local schools with less administrative overhead.

Why not "share a superintendent" with a school district in Washtenaw County?
