SALISBURY – The Wicomico County Board of Education has appointed Dr. Micah Stauffer to serve as the school system’s new superintendent.
In a special meeting held Wednesday, the school board appointed Stauffer to a four-year term as superintendent beginning July 1. He will replace Dr. Donna Hanlin, who announced her retirement late last year.
“Finding a new superintendent is one of the most important tasks of the Board of Education,” Board Chairman Gene Malone said in a statement. “This has been a carefully and conscientiously conducted search process with expert support from the Maryland Association of Boards of Education and with input from the entire community.”
He continued, “Each finalist’s video interview was viewed approximately 1,100 times, and many, many people then shared their input on the finalists through a survey. We’re confident that any one of our three finalists would have been an excellent leader for Wicomico County Public Schools. We’re proud to announce that Dr. Stauffer will be the next superintendent of Wicomico County Public Schools.”
Dr. Donna Hanlin, Wicomico County’s current superintendent of schools, announced last fall that she would be retiring effective June 30, 2022. Appointed to the position in 2016, Hanlin has served as the school system’s superintendent for the last six years. Much of her 43-year career was spent in Wicomico County Public Schools.
Good luck Doc….u will need it!
Maybe he can put in place some heterosexual safe places so normal kids can have a place to feel safe at school
He’s come up through the administration ranks and should know the system inside out.
That’s good and bad.
