June 2 Superintendent Search Update:
OCSD Community:
As you know, we intended to present our three finalist candidates to the committee on Saturday, 6/3. Unfortunately, one of our candidates withdrew their name from consideration, which makes moving forward challenging. We are pausing the Superintendent search so that we can discuss the best way to move forward with our search consultant.
As originally planned, Amanda Caldwell will resume the position of Acting Superintendent when Jeff Gordon’s interim term ends on June 30.

Thank you so much for volunteering your time to be on this committee. We will be in touch with an update soon.
