Superintendent Search: District Seeks Input from Mendota Heights Residents

School District 197, which includes Mendota Heights, Eagan, and Saint Paul, is currently in the process of searching for its next superintendent. This process will take several months and will include opportunities for the community to participate.

On Jan. 4, the district will host two community meetings, according to a news release. Before interviewing candidates, the school board wants to hear from parents, guardians, staff and district residents regarding the opportunities, strengths and goals of the district, as well as the characteristics and skills desired in a new superintendent.

Community input meetings:

• Wednesday, January 4 from 4-5 p.m.
• Wednesday, January 4 from 6-7 p.m.

Each meeting will be held at Henry Sibley High School in Warrior Hall (third floor). No RSVP is required.

Light refreshments will be served and childcare will be available. If you plan to utilize childcare, please contact Mary Amidon at 651-403-7002 or mary.amidon@isd197.org before the meeting.

The community is also invited to complete an online survey regarding the superintendent search:
