And I want you both to know how much I appreciate you.”As the district prepares for a leadership transition, board Chairman Michael Nimmer outlined the process for selecting Eiland’s successor.The superintendent position will remain posted through Dec. 6. The board is scheduled to reconvene Dec. 10 to review applications and discuss potential candidates.“Basically, the process works this way. It's got to be posted for 30 days,” Nimmer explained. “Then we come back and we review the applications. At that point, then we can choose to do interviews or we can appoint someone.”Nimmer said the board may reopen the application process if members determine the initial candidate pool is insufficient.“If we don't fill it within 90 days, the state superintendent will appoint the superintendent for the school system,” Nimmer said.The meeting also included recognition for Assistant Superintendent for Instructional and Federal Programs Lisa Adair, who was honored by the Alabama Association of Federal Education Program Administrators. Adair will travel to Washington, D.C., in March 2027 to be recognized at the national conference.</div></body>
