Now here's an interesting piece of information we thought would be good to include in our weekly blog. There is a superintendent search for Jackson, Mississippi going on through October 2, 2009.
We recently came across the news that the Mississippi Board of Education is searching nationally for a new superintendent. They are seeking a candidate who will keep all ongoing programs on track and help in the advancement of the student's education. 
They say the perfect candidate should be an advocate for increasing student achievement and funding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program.
Application and position information will be posted on the Mississippi School Board and the Mississippi Department of Education's websites by August 24th. All candidates must submit their application by the October 2nd deadline to even be considered for the position. Interviews are expected to be conducted between October 23rd and November 19th.
Applicants must have a master's degree in any field and a minimum of five years of experience in the education field.
Currently, Dr. John Jordan is serving in the position and will continue to serve until a new superintendent is named.
Whoever the Board of Education chooses, it sounds like the education of Jackson's students is what is most important to everyone. It really shows in what they are requiring of their candidates and we like to hear that education is very important to many in Jackson, Mississippi.
