It is with deep sadness that we learn of the passing of Dan Marburger. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and the Perry community during this difficult time.

There have been 45 superintendent openings in Iowa for the 22-23 school year so far. All of the final hiring decisions have been male superintendents, except for 3…so far. Of the 3 females, 2 were internal candidates. Just reporting data.
