Wichita school board members have worked out a timeline in the search for a new superintendent.
The board met Monday night and approved a 30-day review of internal candidates that will begin in January. If a candidate is not identified from that review, an external search will begin in the spring, possibly in March.
The board also approved a salary range of $300,00 to $325,000 for the next superintendent, based on a market evaluation and comparison to regional salaries.
The school district plans to send a survey to families in the near future to get input on the search.
Dr. Alicia Thompson announced earlier this month that she will retire at the end of this school year.
