The Seattle School Board is extending the search for a new superintendent, past the original deadline to hire someone by the fall.
That means the district will not have a permanent leader when its roughly 50,000 students come back in the fall.
We review why the school board wants more time for the search, and what that delay means for students, teachers and parents.
Editor's Note: KUOW incorrectly stated that former Seattle School Board director Vivian Song represented District 2. She represented District 4. Additionally, Song claims the district failed to file for a special election, which could’ve allowed her to continue legally serving. (The district refused to comment on the issue of her residency and whether it failed to file for a special election.)
