Toltec School District sets superintendent-search timeline; hires special-education teacher to return students to campus

The Toltec School District announced a timeline for its superintendent search and said it is hiring a special-education teacher who will begin in January to support students returning to campus.

At the district meeting, the presenter said the governing board has set a Dec. 20 deadline for submitting applications, scheduled applicant screening for Jan. 13 and planned interviews for Jan. 21 or Jan. 25. The presenter attributed those dates to the governing board’s search process and said the vacancy is for a superintendent who will be replaced in July 2025.

The presenter also said the district has hired a teacher currently living in New Mexico who will move to the area and start a class in January designed to serve four students who are currently receiving services off-site. The speaker said the teacher’s arrival will allow the district to hold meetings to bring those students back to the campus.

The meeting identified the special-education director (transcript reference: “Dr Mor”) and noted continued activity in the special-education department, including staff recognitions and adjustments to services. No salary, contract length or specific hiring authorization details were provided in the meeting transcript.

The district did not provide further procedural details about the superintendent search during the excerpted remarks; the presenter said the governing board will screen applications and interview candidates on the listed dates.
