    Hello, all,

    You may remember Steve Matthews from School ExecConnect.  He worked with Larry Lobert on our last superintendent search, was a prior superintendent candidate in GP and was also a school board member in GP up until 2004.  Presently, he is Novi's superintendent.

    Steve applied for and is the successful applicant for the Rockford superintendent position.  Rockford's present superintendent is retiring after 20 plus years of service.

    RJ Webber is the Curriculum Director in Novi, essentially the Number 2 person as they don't have the extra layer of administration between Curriculum and the Superintendent like we do (Roy's position).  RJ is presently a finalist in the Northville superintendent race.
