SAU 16 Issues Statement On CMS Principal Search

Press release from Cookson Communications:

March 3, 2022

The Exeter Region Cooperative School Board met on February 22 to hold public interviews with the two finalist candidates for the principal position at CMS and after deliberation, no nomination was made to move forward with the candidates. The extensive search, originally kicked off in October 2021, gathered significant community input and feedback which will be used in a revised recruitment process with the intent of identifying the ideal fit in the best interest of CMS and the community.

"We are especially grateful for our two finalists and the amount of time that they invested in this search," stated David Ryan, superintendent of schools for SAU 16. "Both are exceptional educators and at the end of any process it always comes down to best fit. We wish both candidates the very best in their search for their next position and thank them for their professional approach to this outcome."

More information on the modified search process will be made available in the coming weeks.
