Search for district superintendent goes digital

Members of the Wayne-Westland Community Schools District took advantage of current technology in their search for a new superintendent of schools.
The board members were expected to engage in a virtual meeting to interview the final two candidates for the top job on Tuesday evening.
The two candidates for the job are Keith McDonald, Ed.S., the director of human resources for the Livonia Public Schools and John Dignan, Ed.S., currently the director of post secondary options and community partnerships in the Southfield Public Schools District. Each will be interviewed by the members of the board during the virtual meeting using the Zoom platform.

There was no public participation in the virtual meeting but residents were allowed to send questions for the candidates to an email address. The results of the interviews were not available at press time.
The next meeting of the board members is set for 7 p.m. May 4 when the board members are expected to make the final choice and name a new superintendent of schools.
The new district leader is expected to begin work in the district in July.
Login information for the special meetings is available at wwcsd.net under the Superintendent Search graphic. Each meeting has a special log-in code available on the website.
