KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Dr. Darrin Slade, the deputy superintendent for a Missouri school district, was selected Thursday evening as the next superintendent for the Kalamazoo Public Schools.
Slade comes from Hazelwood Public School District in Missouri. He has also worked as an assistant superintendent of instructional leadership for Kansas City Public Schools and has 16 years of experience as an elementary, middle and high school principal for District of Columbia Public Schools.
He will assume his new role in Kalamazoo July 1, 2023, replacing interim superintendent Cindy Green. Green was named to that role following the resignation of Dr. Rita Raichoudhuri, Ed.D., who resigned in December 2022 in what the district called a “mutual decision.” She had been the superintendent of KPS since 2020.
