Green Bay school superintendent proposals sought
Patti Zarling:
The Green Bay School Board agreed Monday to send requests to about 17 search companies -- including the one used to recruit Superintendent Greg Maass -- for proposals to guide its efforts to find a new school leader.
Maass announced last week he will leave his Green Bay post at the end of June. He plans to accept a similar position in Marblehead, Mass., pending background checks and contract negotiations. He's been in Green Bay for three years.
Illinois-based Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates, the recruitment company that the Green Bay board hired last time to conduct its search, said it would waive its consulting fee because Maass is leaving within five years, School Board president Jean Marsch said. The district paid the firm $22,000 and covered another $12,500 or so in additional expenses, for things such as advertising, travel and lodging, in the search for Maass, she said. The district still would be on the hook for the additional costs.
But members said they'd still like to hear what other search firms have to offer.
Madison Superintendent Dan Nerad previous position was in Green Bay.
