Several meetings are planned in October to discern just that. Patrons of the district are invited to community meetings on Thursday, Oct. 2 at Cornelius Elementary School, 200 N. 14th Ave.; Tuesday, Oct. 7 at Tom McCall Upper Elementary School, 1255 Pacific Ave.; and Tuesday, Oct. 14 at the district office, 1728 Main St.

All the sessions will be from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Connie Potter, director of communications and volunteers for the district, said teachers and students would have separate opportunities to add their input to the mix.

Betsy Miller-Jones of the Oregon School Boards Association will facilitate the meetings. Potter is putting together a brochure touting the district’s programs, to be used to attract candidates from across the country. Musser’s salary this year is $118,348.

The application process will close Jan. 31, 2009. “We hope to have a new superintendent named by mid- to late March,” Potter said.
