HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – The search for the next superintendent for Ottawa Area Intermediate School District has been narrowed down to two candidates by the ISD’s Board of Education after a round of interviews last Thursday. Holland Public Schools Superintendent Brian Davis and Hamilton Community Schools Superintendent David Tebo are out of the running for the job. This leaves Greenville Public Schools Superintendent Peter Haines and OAISD Assistant Superintendent For Instructional Services Kyle Mayer as the two finalists. A final interview meeting date has not been set, but is speculated to happen in the last week of May.
With the OAISD decision, three of the seven district leaders in the Holland/Zeeland area that had been looking at new jobs will still remain at their positions for the start of the 2016 Academic Year. West Ottawa’s Tom Martin earlier pulled out of the Kent ISD chief’s race, and Fennville’s Dirk Weeldreyer interviews next Wednesday for the Grandville post. There has been no reported interest in new challenges for Zeeland’s Cal DeKupier and Saugatuck’s Rolfe Timmerman, while Holland Christian’s Dan Meester is just completing his first year at the helm.
