Superintendent Finalist Interviews

The Kenston Board of Education is undergoing a superintendent search to replace outgoing Superintendent Nancy R. Santilli. The goal is to have a new superintendent named in June and in place to begin the 2022-23 school year.

The board of education values the community’s insight and opinions. Input from community focus groups and surveys was used to develop and enhance the profile of Kenston’s next leader. The valuable insight identified common themes used to evaluate potential candidates for interviews.

The public is invited to meet the superintendent finalist candidates at 5:30 p.m. June 6 at Timmons Elementary School. At this time, each finalist will share his or her background and answer presubmitted questions.

Please submit questions in advance to board President Neysa Gaskins at neysa.gaskins@kenstonapps.org or drop them off at the Board Office, 17419 Snyder Road by noon on June 1. The board will select the top questions for the candidates to answer during the interviews.

If needed, additional dates may be added. For information, visit kenstonlocal.org or call 440-543-9677.

The Kenston Board of Education values the community’s feedback and hopes people will submit questions and attend the finalist candidate interviews on June 6.
