The Board of Education announced Dr. Jason Glass as the finalist for the Jeffco Public Schools superintendent position at a special meeting May 1. Dr. Glass is currently the superintendent for Eagle County Schools in Colorado.
“The Board was incredibly impressed with Dr. Glass,” said Board President Ron Mitchell. “His credentials are impressive. He is a current superintendent, and he clearly meets the criteria we set using public input.”
The search firm Ray and Associates received 69 applicants to the Jeffco Public Schools Superintendent job posting. The firm pushed forward 11 candidates for the Board of Education to review. On April 20, the Board of Education decided to move six candidates forward to the in-person interview level.
“I am appreciative of Ray and Associates’ efforts. This was clearly a national search with great response. We were pleased with the high caliber of candidates we had to review,” expressed Board President Ron Mitchell.
The Board will take action on the appointment of the next superintendent for Jeffco Public Schools, and approve a contract for the superintendent, at a public meeting May 16.
