(Fontanelle,Iowa) – The CAM and Nodaway Valley School Boards held a joint meeting Monday (Feb. 3^rd) in Fontanelle, during which they heard from officials with McPherson and Jacobsen, the firm tasked with finding a replacement for Superintendent Paul Croghan, whose contract was not renewed once the current school year ends. Firm representatives suggested a timeline which includes having a superintendent hired by April 8th.

A member of the search firm suggested posting the job opening on Feb. 18th. Once the candidate applications are received, the Board could narrow down the list to six in March, and possibly having the top three candidates finalized by March 31st.

The finalists would be interviewed, and meet with stakeholders in both districts on April 7^th. A decision could then be made by both boards on April 8^th.
