The Whitewater Unified School District School Board has selected three finalists in its search for the next district superintendent. The finalists are Samuel Karns, Kurt Schneider, and Laurie Fiorenza.
As part of the selection process, the three finalists will spend a day in the district on Thursday, May 22. The day will include a tour of the schools and time to meet with staff and students. Parents, families, and community members will also have an opportunity to meet the candidates in a public session that evening.
All interested families, parents, and community members are invited to participate in the session, which will take place from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the Whitewater High School Auditorium. Each of the finalists will introduce themselves and take questions during their individual 45-minute session.
All district and community participants throughout the day will be able to share their feedback with the board via an online form, available through a link and QR code. The School Board will conduct final interviews with each of the candidates that evening.
Below are details on each of the finalists:
