July 12, 2022 | Board Selects Superintendent Search Firm

The School District of Menomonee Falls has chosen Hazard Young Attea Associates (HYA) to spearhead its search for an interim superintendent and permanent superintendent for the 2023-2024 school year. The Board of Education chose the firm from among two candidates at a special meeting on Tuesday, which can be viewed here.

“It was a unanimous vote, “ said Eric Pelzer, President of the SDMF School Board. “The thing we liked best about HYA was their analytical approach and that they were data-driven. We also liked the dashboard interface that all of the board members will have access to during the process, giving us real-time updates in response to the survey we will be doing.”

The board will work closely with HYA on the search timeline and will share the next steps as soon as the information is available.
