GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – June 2020, that’s when the current Green Bay Area Public School District superintendent’s contract ends.
Eventually, the school board will have to find Michelle Langenfeld’s replacement.
“We’re probably looking at something, I would guess, early fall we’d start working on this,” said Brenda Warren, Green Bay Area Public School District board president.
Warren tells FOX 11 there’s plenty of time to fill the position.
“We have not had a conversation as a board about any details.”
She says the school board will likely hire a firm to help find the next superintendent.
“And then you go through a very extensive process, the search firm does, of determining what does the community, the staff, the school board… what are they all looking for in the next superintendent.”
School board member Rhonda Sitnikau talked to FOX 11 over the phone. She’d like to see more input from the public
“For the public to weigh in and tell us what they believe the community needs.”
Sitnikau also shared what she’s looking for in a candidate.
“A fresh set of eyes to give us their perspective, their real perspective and they’re able to be objective and clear about expectations. You know, there are no relationships that are already there to muddy the waters.”
As for Warren, she says she’d like to have a replacement to start the day after Langenfeld leaves.
“This person has to be interfaced with the community and be out in the community and get to know people.”
