Superintendent Search

The Meridian School Board intends to begin a superintendent search process this fall. The board will determine whether to partner with a search firm or conduct the process internally. Regardless of the approach, staff, families, students and community members will have opportunities to provide feedback and input. Typically, superintendent openings are posted during the winter, with interviews and selection occurring in early spring.

The board will oversee the entire process and make the final hiring decision for Meridian’s next superintendent.
