Westwood Regional Interim Superintendent Search Nearing Finish

Westwood Regional Board of Education President Roberta Hanlon said she hopes the board will select a new interim superintendent at their May 9 meeting.

The Board interviewed three finalists for the position during a closed session meeting last week, but members did not yet have a chance to discuss the candidates, according to Hanlon.

A committee of four Board members started the search in late March, she previously said.

The Board has also heard presentations from several firms offering services to assist in the search for a permanent superintendent. The new interim would fill the role until a candidate is hired.

Current Interim Superintendent Rory McCourt has been filling the role since December. He previously said he would not be seeking the permanent superintendent position but is set to fill the position through June 30.

Former Superintendent Goeffrey Zoeller resigned effective April 25
