Colette Moody was selected last night to be the new superintendent at Croswell-Lexington Schools starting this school year.
Despite previous plans of a second round of interviews on August 23, the board decided after interviews with all four candidates yesterday that Moody, who has been serving as interim superintendent since Daniel Gilbertson’s July departure for Brandon Schools, was the woman for the job.
Following audience feedback and further discussion, the board made their unamious choice official, with Dr. Rodney Green, their consultant from the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB), calling Moody to make her the offer. Dr. Green offered a workshop on the roles, relations and expectations between the school board and Moody in her new role as superintendent, a workshop offered as part of the association’s superintendent search package.
Moody was the last candidate to be interviewed yesterday evening, with her interview beginning at 8:00 p.m. Earlier that day, at 5:30 p.m., Sandusky Schools’ superintendent Paul Flynn was in the interview hot seat a mere two days after his revised contract was not approved as originally planned, pending further review of the contract by the Sandusky board’s finance committee.
