After three months of meetings, the Roaring Fork School District has finalized superintendent contracts. Superintendent Diana Sirko will stay on for two more years, as will Assistant Superintendent Rob Stein. Then, Stein will become Superintendent for the three years after that. He’s also Chief Academic Officer. The plan, first proposed in December, galvanized parents who preferred one over the other.
Stein had had this to say after his contract was approved: “My reaction is mostly just relief. I’m glad to have this behind us.” Superintendent Sirko said it was a good idea to plan out the leadership transition far in advance, and she’s glad parents felt comfortable airing their concerns about which candidate was best.
