Due to the planned retirement of Superintendent Hugh Gloster, the Board of Education has been engaged in a recruitment process for a new Superintendent of Schools/CEO.
The position was widely advertised and resulted in outstanding candidates. After deliberation, the Board has offered the position to Mr. Kevin Kaardal, who was most recently the Superintendent in the Burnaby School District.
Mr. Gloster plans on retiring in December, so the starting date and transition period for Mr. Kaardal will be determined later. The Board appreciates the lead time that Mr. Gloster provided, which has resulted in a decision before schools close for the summer.
While the Board recognizes that it will be difficult to have Mr. Gloster leave the district, Trustees are excited about the opportunities this new appointment provides for the Central Okanagan School District.
More information on timelines will be provided as they become available.
