The Riverside Community School District has selected three finalists in its search for the next District Superintendent: Brian Christensen, Alynn Coppock, and Beau Jacobsen.

As part of the selection process, the three finalists will spend a day in the district on Wednesday, April 22. The day will include a tour of the schools and towns plus interviews with four (4) committees and the Board. The committees include selected students, certified and support staff, parent and community members and the Administration, School Business Official and Department Heads.

These committee members will provide feedback after each interview to the Board to review as they make their choice for the next Riverside Superintendent. The interviews will take place in the Riverside Middle School/High School.

The Board values and appreciates everyone’s input as it informs this important decision. Final interviews with each candidate will be conducted by the Board that evening with deliberations; the target for a public announcement is April 23.
