This information comes from our School Board representative Kristine Manwaring:
As you know, Dr. Randy Merrill resigned as superintendent last week. Dr. Merrill was an excellent superintendent, leaving the district in much better financial and well as academic shape than when he became superintendent 10 years ago.

The school board as appointed Bob Gentry to be the interim superintendent. Mr. Gentry was previously the personnel director.
The school board will hire a new superintendent no later than July 1st. The first meeting to discuss the process of choosing a new superintendent is scheduled for January 24th, 7:30 AM. The meeting will start in room 1, but if we have lots of people we will move it to the larger room where board meetings are held. The meeting is open to the public.
As we create a process for selecting a new superintendent we will focus on three things: creating a large candidate pool of highly qualified candidates, facilitating wide-spread public and employee participation, selecting a leader who is focused on academic gains and uniting our community.
I know attending meetings is hard and so if you can't attend this meeting, please send me any feedback you have concerning a selection process and qualifications we should include in the job posting. I promise to keep you updated as the process unfolds.
Best wishes,
Provo School Board
