FAIRMONT, W.Va. — The Marion County Board of Education mapped their path to choosing a new superintendent during a special meeting Wednesday.
The BOE couldn’t come to an agreement earlier this month to extend the contract of five-year Superintendent Donna Heston. Her contract runs until the end of June.
Marion County BOE President George Boyles said Wednesday they’d like to have a new superintendent chosen by that July 1 date.
“Our goal is to retain the current superintendent until June 30, 2026,” Boyles said.
The school board met in executive session for more than an hour Wednesday and emerged with more questions about the new job description. The edits to the job description are in process and will be disseminated as soon as they are available, Boyles said.
“We talked about a couple of things, and those will be posted as soon as we come to a conclusion of that and any other relevant data will be posted as well,” Boyles said.
