Board Seeks Firm to Lead Superintendent Search

Board Seeks Firm to Lead Superintendent Search Following Dr. Nisha Patel’s announcement that she will retire at the end of the 2026–27 school year, the Clayton Board of Education is moving forward with the process of selecting the District’s next superintendent. The Board is seeking proposals from search firms to help lead the process. Proposals are due Oct. 4, with finalist interviews planned later in the month. Once a firm is selected, the Board will begin the next phase, which will include opportunities for students, staff, families and community members to provide input. Listen to the remarks Board president Jason Growe shared at the Sept. 23 meeting to learn more.
