Candidate for Ada School Superintendent Received Copy of Interview Questions; Board Cancels Current Search

The Ada School District’s Board of Education announced on Facebook that they have decided to cancel the current search for a Superintendent.

A replacement for current Superintendent Robin Van Buskirk was being sought following her retirement.

An Interim Superintendent will serve the district for the 2023-2024 school year.

The decision to cancel the search was made when it was discovered that one candidate received a copy of the questions intended for the interview process.

The questions were delivered to the candidate anonymously, and the Board has not been able to identify the source.

Board President Matt Gossman stated that the credibility of the search has been damaged by someone who violated the trust and integrity of this search process making it impossible to proceed at this time.
