KESD INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH

ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Interim Superintendent Search

We sincerely thank Superintendent Sean McMannon for his dedicated leadership and service to ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ School District. Since joining ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½’s community in July 2023, following a long and impactful tenure leading the Winooski School District, Mr. McMannon has worked tirelessly to support students, staff, and families across the district’s seven PreK–8 schools, championing academic excellence, community collaboration, and the well-being of all learners. Under his guidance, the district navigated both everyday challenges and strategic initiatives with a focus on student success and strong community partnerships. The ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ School Board has accepted his resignation, with his term concluding effective June 30, 2026, and expresses deep gratitude for his leadership and contributions to the district’s growth and development.


The ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Board is in the midst of an interim search process. The school community is involved, with an opportunity to provide input through an online survey. Once candidates are identified, the school and greater community will be invited to participate in a candidate meet-and-greet gathering.
