Lebanon, Springboro administrators finalists for Beavercreek job
BEAVERCREEK — Two Warren County administrators are finalists for the superintendent post here and board members hope to make a decision by June 30.
Mark North, superintendent of Lebanon City Schools, and Larry Hook, assistant superintendent in Springboro Community Schools, were picked as finalists from a pool of 11 applicants, said Richard Eckhardt, board president. Six of the 11 who applied were interviewed by teachers, parents and school support staff before board members quizzed candidates earlier this month.
Whoever board members pick will replace Dennis Morrison who is leaving the district after seven years as what many residents have described as “Beavercreek’s biggest cheerleader.” He will take an assistant principal job at Fairborn Primary School so he can again work closely with kids, Morrison said.
Richard Eckhardt, school board president, said both candidates to replace Morrison have first-hand knowledge of the difficulties facing Ohio school districts. “I think they are both well qualified and carry a lot of experience,” Eckhardt said. “They understand Ohio school funding and the challenges area schools face.”
Board members are expected to make an offer to their top choice in coming days and announce their decision after a contract is signed.
