The Polk County School Board took the first step Tuesday toward looking for a school superintendent to replace Sherrie Nickell, who has announced she will retire in June 2013.
Opening their work session with a lengthy discussion about how and when to start looking, board members came to agreement on two things: that the search should be national in scope and that the Florida School Boards Association should be considered as a contender for the search process. The FSBA represents all school board members throughout Florida.
