Waitsburg Superintendent Search

The Waitsburg School Board of Directors is asking community members to provide input regarding the district’s next superintendent. During their special board meeting on November 29, 2022, the school board took action to select Educational Service District 123 as the search consultant.

This past fall, current Waitsburg Superintendent Mark Pickel announced his planned resignation scheduled for June 30, 2023. The search process to find a successor for Superintendent Pickel will begin with a community survey asking Waitsburg residents to share their thoughts on the characteristics and qualifications of Waitsburg’s next superintendent.

The survey is available online, or printed copies of the survey may be obtained at the school or district offices. The survey closes on Tuesday, January 10.

Following the survey, the superintendent vacancy announcement and job posting will be available on the ESD 123 website beginning mid-January. At that time, a detailed timeline and additional updates will be posted regarding the superintendent search.
