School Board Rushes to Hire New Superintendent | Montpelier News

The Washington Central School Board is racing against time to find a new superintendent before the school year starts—current leader Steven Dellinger-Pate is stepping down July 31. With the traditional hiring window already closed, they’ve hired consultant Elaine Pinckney and formed a diverse screening committee to review applications and interview candidates over the summer. The board is offering a year-to-year contract to attract more applicants, but faces hurdles: qualified administrators may be hesitant to jump ship right before August, and the job posting is delayed. They’re aiming to present finalists to the full board in August, hoping to secure strong leadership as the district gears up for the new academic year.
