Dr. Andrew Gaddis, Superintendent for Atchison County USD 377

(KAIR)--A new Superintendent for the Atchison County Community Schools awaits the start of the new school year.

That follows action of the USD 377 Board of Education Monday night, with the School Board agreeing to offer a contract to Dr. Andrew Gaddis to fill the role.

Board President Jeff Martin tells MSC News the two year contract consists of an annual salary of $105,000.

Gaddis is expected to begin serving as Superintendent July 1.

Gaddis is a well known educator in the local region, serving as Principal for the Hiawatha High School prior to seeking the Superintendent's seat.

He replaces Steve Wiseman, who served as Superintendent for 12-years, but leaves USD 377 to take a teaching position with the Saint Joseph, Missouri public schools.

The School Board Monday night also filled the vacant Position 2 seat on the board.

Appointed to that role is Greg Smith, of Cummings. Martin says he was the only applicant.

Position 2 became open following the resignation of longtime board member Patrick Kearney, who resigned in May.

The position represents the townships of Central, Mount Pleasant, and Walnut, as well as a portion of Jefferson County.
