Jefferson Local School District Begins Search for New Superintendent

​The Jefferson Local School District has officially begun the search for its next superintendent following a meeting with the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) on October 8, 2024. The district is working closely with OSBA consultant Teri Morgan to lead the search process and attract qualified candidates from across the state and nationwide.
The position has been posted, and applications will be accepted until Friday, January 31, 2025. Following a thorough review process, which will include professional screenings, interviews, and extensive reference checks, the district’s Board of Education aims to announce the new superintendent by Spring 2025.
To ensure the community’s voice is heard during this important transition, the board will host a focus group session on January 23, 2025. This session will provide an opportunity for community members and district stakeholders to offer input on the selection process. More details on this event will be shared in the coming weeks.
The search for a new superintendent follows the announcement of Mr. William Mullett’s decision to step down after 25 years of service. The Board of Education expressed its gratitude to Mr. Mullett for his leadership and dedication, highlighting the numerous achievements the district has made during his tenure. Board President Whitney Duemmel, on behalf of the board, extended heartfelt thanks to Mr. Mullett, acknowledging his impactful contributions to the district.
The Jefferson Local School District remains committed to continuing its mission of educating children as its top priority. The district looks forward to finding a leader who will uphold this commitment and build on the progress made under Mr. Mullett's leadership.
The Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA), which is assisting with the search, serves over 700 member boards across Ohio and advocates for public education throughout the state.
