Superintendent David Fleishman decided to appoint an interim principal next year in light of principal Jennifer Price’s departure at the end of the school year, according to his letter sent to the community.
Although two finalists for the principal position, Geoffrey Walker and William Klements, were chosen by the Superintendent Advisory Committee, a group that advised Fleishman in making the final decision that consisted of faculty members, parents, and students, Fleishman did not choose either of the finalists.
Fleishman said, in the letter, that he will “examine options” in the next several weeks, and an announcement will be made after April vacation.
As part of the final stage in the selection process, the finalists visited North last week and met with faculty, parents, and students throughout the day.
