The Lapeer Community Schools Board of Education agreed at its regular meeting on November 4 to contract with School Exec Connect in its search for a new superintendent.
The board will meet in a work session November 18 to discuss the timeline for the search. School board President Bill Laidlaw said the board hopes to have a candidate selected by March of 2011.
Laidlaw added that the process will have a lot of input from both the staff and the whole community.
Current LCS Superintendent Debbie Thompson is retiring at the end of the 2010-11 school year in June. She has served the district as its superintendent since August 2005.
