RE-1 Valley School District Makes Selection For Superintendent

***Press Release***


At the April 30th special meeting of the RE-1 Valley Board of Education, the Board announced in a resolution the selection of Jan DeLay as Superintendent of Schools. Dr. DeLay, selected from the pool of 17 applicants and four finalists for the position, will enter into contract negotiations with the District’s legal representation.

The Board of Education and two interview committees met with the four finalists on Saturday, April 27, for the day long interview process. Spokesmen for the interview committees shared the strengths and concerns for each candidate, but ultimately, responsibility for the decision rests with the Board of Education to employ their one employee, the Superintendent of Schools. Just minutes prior to the beginning of the special meeting Tuesday evening, the Board received word that one candidate, Mathew Neal of Edgewater, Colorado, had withdrawn his application after accepting a position in Rock Springs, Wyoming, leaving three candidates for the Board’s consideration.

Eric Windom, president of the RE-1 Valley Board of Education stated, “The Board has made this decision after a great deal of thought and consideration for what is best for the students and staff in our District.”
