Selecting Sisters Schools' superintendent

 

Last updated 2/20/1996 at Noon



The two finalists in the Sisters School District's search for a new superintendent will be at the Sisters Middle/High School on Sunday, February 25, from 1 - 4 p.m. to meet with staff, parents and the community.

"This will be an opportunity to come meet the two finalists in our superintendent search," said School Board Chairman Bill Reed. "We have two strong candidates."

Steve Swisher was assistant superintendent at Eagle Point, enrollment 3,700, from 1988-90. In 1990 he was selected as the superintendent of the South Lane School District, enrollment 3,000, in Cottage Grove where he served from 1990-1994.

Swisher is currently Director of Apprenticeship and Training for the State of Oregon, according to Reed.

Al Butler will make a little longer trip to Sisters. He has been the school superintendent in Clio, Michigan, with an enrollment of 4,000 students, since 1986. Prior to that Butler was superintendent in Saranac, Michigan, enrollment 1,100, from 1980 to 1986.

"In the reference checking we have done, these two candidates both stood out as being very involved in all aspects of their community, very supportive of staff and parents," said Reed.

He said that both candidates have been in districts where they had to deal with the very tough decisions, including budget constraints that resulted in layoffs of certified and classified staff.

"They have demonstrated the ability to be educational leaders in their communities and put students first in the decision making process," Reed said.
