Incoming Wood County Superintendent Discusses Reorganization Plan

Hit the ground running.

Wood County's new superintendent promised it, and he's trying to make good on that promise.

John Flint is interviewing candidates next week for the newly-created deputy superintendent's post.

That's part of a reorganization plan the board narrowly approved Monday.

He says it's more than just a "second in command" job.

"That person will have to have a superintendent's certificate. They will also have to have experience in elementary, secondary and middle schools. So it's kind of a complex position," Flint says.

He emphasizes the new post is not an added position, simply a re-definition of the duties of the assistant superintendent of human resources.

Flint, along with a board of education featuring two new members, takes office July 1.
