(KMZA)--The Vermillion USD 380 Board of Education this week interviewed three candidates seeking to be the district's new superintendent.

They included Joel Bickner, who currently serves as the secondary principal at the Bottineau School District in Bottineau, North Dakota. Shana Steinlage, who currently serves as director of the Marshall-Nemaha Educational Service Cooperative in Seneca, and Trevor Ashcraft, who currently serves as the USD 380 curriculum director and Vermillion principal.

Current superintendent Matt Rogers is resigning at the end of the current school school year for health reasons. Rogers has lead the district since 2018.

The school board hopes to have a new superintendent hired by the end of the month.
