Members of the Hamilton County Board of Education hope a contract with the next superintendent, Bryan Johnson, will be finalized in the coming weeks.
School board chairman Steve Highlander on Friday described negotiations as “a work in progress” and said he couldn’t predict when the board would schedule a vote.
“I would love to have [Johnson] on board already, and I’m sure Mr. Johnson would love that too,” Highlander said. “We just have to iron out the differences and work it out.”
But other board members told the Times Free Press they expect the contract to be signed by mid-July at the latest.
The school board voted June 15 to name Johnson the district’s next leader, after more than 15 months without a permanent superintendent.
