Portland School Board members Sarah Thompson, Ed Bryan and Jaimey Caron (pictured below in that order) have been chosen by the larger board to serve as a new ad hoc committee to oversee the search for a superintendent to replace the outgoing James Morse.

Thompson serves as chairwoman of the new committee, which according to a recent Portland Public Schools announcement is now “developing a work plan, proposed budget and time line, with the goal of hiring a new superintendent by June.”

The committee is next scheduled to meet on Thursday at 5 p.m., when the members are expected to discuss the scope of work they may ask a consultant to assist with.
