The final interviews on Feb. 25 included a thorough interview and presentation to the board of education and superintendent. At the end of the process Eyerman was selected as the best candidate to provide the district financial leadership for the future.

We are fortunate and excited to have her join our administrative team.”

I feel confident that Terri definitely meets that criteria and will be a great fit here. I am looking forward to working with her.”

I want to thank the board of education and Superintendent Hire for the trust they have placed in me.
