UPPER LAKE, Calif. – With its superintendent announcing he will retire this summer, the Upper Lake Unified School District is beginning a search for a new leader and planning a meeting next month to take input from community members.
Superintendent Patrick Iaccino will retire in June, at the end of this school year, the district reported.
Iaccino was the longtime Upper Lake Union High School District superintendent who was one of the leaders of the successful effort to unify that district with the Upper Lake Union Elementary District.
The two districts officially merged into one as of July 1, with the board selecting Iaccino as the new district's superintendent, as Lake County News has reported.
The district will hold a community forum meeting to discuss the superintendent search at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1, in the cafeteria at the Upper Lake High School campus, 675 Clover Valley Road.
The public is invited to the meeting event and encouraged to provide input regarding the search for a new superintendent.
For interested candidates, the job description and brochure links can be found at http://www.ulusd.org/quicklinks/?id=51 .
Requirements include a master's degree, with the appropriate administrative credential to serve a K-12 district also preferred.
The job's salary range is $114,438 to $157,474, plus health and welfare benefits.
The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. March 1.
In the middle of March, an ad hoc selection committee that includes members of the district's governing board, community members, parents and staff will select candidates to interview, with the date of interviews to be announced.
