(KAIR)--The search for a new Superintendent of the Atchison County Schools could be in the final stretch, with the last of two finalists for the position expected to be offered a contract later this month.
That word from USD 377 Board of Education President Jeff Martin.
He tells MSC News the Board anticipates extending a contract to Dr. Andrew Gaddis at the Board's next regular meeting, scheduled for June 19.
Gaddis currently serves at the Principal of Hiawatha High School.
He was named as one of two finalists for the position which became open due to the resignation of current Superintendent Steve Wiseman, effective June 30.
The School Board Monday evening extended a contract to the first of the two finalists, Destry Brown.
On Tuesday morning, Brown, who currently serves as Superintendent for USD 250, in Pittsburg, Kansas, declined the offer, paving the way for the selection of Gaddis as the possible next Superintendent.
