The board of education will now enter into negotiations with Jim Baker for the position. Baker has served as interim superintendent at Huron Valley Schools since May.
In a surprise move Tuesday night, the Huron Valley Schools Board of Education decided to forgo the rest of the search process and select Jim Baker as the new Huron Valley Schools Superintendent. Baker has served as interim superintendent for the district since May. Following the remainder of the candidate interviews Tuesday, the board heard feedback from the audience - all who said Baker was the clear choice. Initially the school board was going to select two finalists who would be interviewed again next week and spend a day in the district as part of the process. However, several school board members said they already felt one candidate ranked higher than the other three, and that candidate was Baker. School board member Rebecca Walsh …

The following is from the Huron Valley School District and Superintendent Jackie Johnston. Dear Huron Valley Families: As my tenure with HVS winds down, I want to take this opportunity to thank the parents, students, staff and community for the high level of support provided to our District.

Students in HVS are fortunate to have parents who truly care about their success and a community that recognizes it takes all of us to ensure the health and welfare of our kids. Our students are educated by a staff that demonstrates its talents and creativity on a daily basis, and an administrative team that is passionate about …

I really think this is wonderful news for our district. Mr Baker has shown himself to be the kind of administrator who will do what it takes, ruffle the feathers if necessary, but is committed to doing what it takes to get this district in line. He is a real guy, he is approachable and he's willing to listen to the parents and students of HV. Like us, he expects teachers to teach, parents to be … more ›
