(KAIR)--The Board of Education for the Atchison County Schools is in the early stages of finding a new district superintendent, working with the Kansas Association of School Boards to make that happen.

A meeting to focus on that goal is scheduled for Monday evening.

Current Superintendent Steve Wiseman says focus will be placed on what the board wants to see in the next district leader. “We're going to sit down and talk about the selection process...putting together a list of characteristics [for the new Superintendent]...and then how that's going to play out over the next few weeks. Then, we'll be working on the transition.”

Monday's evening's meeting begins at 6:30 in Effingham and is open to the public.

Wiseman is leaving USD 377 at the end of the current school year, having accepted a job as a math teacher for the Saint Joseph, Missouri public schools.
