Sundblad said the Michigan Association of School Boards is leading the search, and the application deadline is September 23 at 4 p.m. First round interviews will be October 13-14.

“We should know the results in a couple of months,” said Sundlad.

In the meantime, Sundblad said the school district is ready and looking forward to having the students back next week.

“We’ve had great summer workers here,” he said, “and the school’s in good shape.
