WWPS provides update on new superintendent search

WALLA WALLA – The Walla Walla Public Schools Board of Directors is looking for a new superintendent. Tomorrow (Tuesday), consultants will update the board on the search process, then the board will screen applicants and select semi-finalists.

On Monday, March 24, the board will conduct an executive session to interview semi-finalist candidates. The names of the superintendent finalists will then be announced.

On Thursday, March 27, the finalists will visit Walla Walla for a full day of interviews. The community can meet the candidates at the WWPS District Office, 364 S. Park St., during sessions at 3:45, 4:50 and 5:55 p.m. Attendees can share feedback through forms available in English and Spanish. The school board will review all input before making a final decision. The new superintendent is expected to be announced on Friday, March 28.

In January, after nearly a decade at the helm of Walla Walla Public Schools, Superintendent Wade Smith informed the school board of his decision to step down at the end of the school year, effective June 30. Smith has accepted a consulting position with a firm specializing in educational capital planning and professional services and will remain in Walla Walla.
