At the February 26, 2025 School Board meeting, the Clear Creek Amana Board of Directors approved a contract with Grundmeyer Leader Services (GLS) to support the recruitment and hiring of the district’s next superintendent. The search process will begin immediately and is expected to conclude with the selection of a highly qualified leader.

Grundmeyer Leader Services is a highly respected firm with strong recommendations from numerous school districts. Their track record demonstrates stability, with leaders they place remaining in their roles longer than the national average of four years. Over the past seven years, more than 90% of GLS hires have continued to lead in the same district where they were hired.

The planning timeline and hiring process will be discussed at the March 5th School Board Work Session. Following the meeting, we will share updates and next steps with our stakeholders.

On February 26, 2025 the School Board of Directors accepted Dr. Seymour’s resignation as Superintendent of the District and Dr. Denise Schares was named interim superintendent and she will continue in that role throughout the 2024-25 school year. The School Board plans to have a new Superintendent named and in place by July 1, 2025.
