“He has been with us for many years. He’s also been acting superintendent for us in the past and he’s done pretty well, ”Ogden said.
Ogden said they would start receiving applications soon, but did not specify a date when the board will hire someone to fill the position.
Leonard, who was hired as district superintendent in May 2017, could not be reached for comment.
