GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — An Iowa School Superintendent and a School Administrator from Nashville are the two finalists to replace outgoing Green Bay School Superintendent Dr. Michelle Langenfeld.
The finalists are Stephen Murley, who currently serves as the Superintendent of Schools for the Iowa City Community School District in Iowa, and Dr. Sonia Stewart, who currently serves as the Executive Officer of Organizational Development for the Metro Nashville Public Schools in Tennessee.
Board Trustee Eric Vanden Heuvel oversaw the search effort.
“Stephen Murley has extensive experience as a superintendent in both Wisconsin and Iowa,” Vanden Heuvel told WTAQ. “That experience has led to large scale system changes that are of interest to us.”
Murley was also Superintendent of Wausau Schools between 2005 and 2010.
Stewart has worked in administrative positions in Tennessee for the past 11 years.
“[She] has worked in a large metro school district with some significant poverty and trauma that those students have experienced,” said Vanden Heuvel. “And that passion really came across.”
Each finalist will have a “Day in the District” where they will visit district schools. They’ll take place next month.
