Peters Closer to Hiring New Superintendent

The search for a new Peters Township School District superintendent has reached the interview phase.

The paper screening and phone interviews of the first set of candidates have been completed and the pool of potential candidates narrowed. 

The school board is now in the process of conducting in-depth interviews to ensure that the hired superintendent possesses the qualities and demonstrates the skills indentified in the focus groups held with teachers, administrators, students, parents and community members.

There will be several more rounds of interviews before the board reaches a decision. 

"The board extends its appreciation to the community for your patience and support as we work to ensure that the best candidate is selected as the next superintendent," stated Shelly Belcher, the district's spokesperson.

Former superintendent Nina Zetty was hired as the Gateway School District's superintendent last fall. 

Dr. Joseph C. Dimperio is the current acting superintendent.
