MATTAWAN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Five candidates are in the running to become the next superintendent of Mattawan schools.
Previously, 13 candidates were in the running for the position, but the list has been narrowed down by the School Board.
All citizens are encouraged to attend a series of meetings that will feature interviews with each candidate. Opportunities will be available to ask questions and submit feedback on the interviews.
The first round of interviews are scheduled to take place over two days during the evenings of Tuesday, March 10, and Wednesday, March 11.
The candidates are listed as follows:
- Randall Fleenor, Superintendent of Lakewood Public Schools. (March 10 at 5:30 p.m.)
- Daniel Funston, Superintendent of Concord Community Schools. (March 10 at 7:00 p.m.)
- Stephanie Lemmer, Superintendent of Centreville Public Schools. (March 10 at 8:30 p.m.)
- Steven Skalka, Superintendent of Lewisburg Area School Disctrict in Lewisburg, PA. (March 11 at 5:30 p.m.)
- Kyle Corlett, Superintendent of Delton Kellogg Schools. (March 11 at 7:00 p.m.)
The search process began in November after superintendent Robin Buchler told the school board she would be retiring after serving in the role since 2015.
School officials say that Buchler’s replacement is expected to start overseeing the district on July 1st.
The second round of interviews are scheduled for March 24 and 25.
