Attention, Green Bay! We've reached a crucial moment in our school district's journey. The search for a new superintendent is down to two exceptional candidates, and their stories are about to unfold.
Let's dive into the details. After an extensive nationwide hunt, the Green Bay Area Public School District has unveiled its finalists: Michael Hernandez, currently serving as the Assistant Superintendent of the Appleton Area School District, and Dr. Michael E. Trimberger Jr., Superintendent of the School District of Random Lake.
But here's where it gets intriguing: Both candidates will have their 'Day in the District,' providing a unique opportunity for families, students, staff, and community members to engage directly. The 'Meet & Greet' events are set to take place at the old library of West High School on Shawano Avenue, with Hernandez's event on March 4th and Trimberger's on March 5th, both from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
This process has been a long time coming. The district began its search in February 2024 when Claude Tiller resigned. Vicki Bayer stepped in as the interim superintendent and was later named superintendent in December 2024. Bayer's retirement announcement in October has paved the way for this exciting new chapter.
And this is the part most people miss: These meet-and-greets are not just formalities; they're your chance to shape the future of Green Bay's education. Bring your questions, your concerns, and your hopes for the district's future. Your input matters, and it will help guide the board's decision.
