School board considering what they need in a superintendent

Two Grand Island school board members said they are reluctant to discuss the personal characteristics they would like to see in Grand Island's next superintendent.
Board President Jennifer Worthington and board member Jane Meidlinger said the portrait of Grand Island's next superintendent should represent the consensus views of the board, not nine individual opinions.
That doesn't mean individual board members don't already have some ideas about what they might like to see in their next superintendent. But one person's ideas may not be what emerges after all nine board members agree on their ideal candidate.
"I don't want to say something now and have somebody say later, 'That's not what you said you wanted,'" Meidlinger said.
Worthington said that it is pretty much a given that whoever is hired as Grand Island's next superintendent will be expected to help the school district achieve the goals that board members set earlier this year during a retreat.
