The seven-member Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) Board of Education has narrowed its search for superintendent to three finalists. There was significant interest in the position, with nearly 60 applications received.
Finalists include Mohammed Choudhury, a strategy and systems leader and former state superintendent of schools at the Maryland State Department of Education; Dr. Joe Gothard, current superintendent of Saint Paul Public Schools in St. Paul, Minnesota, who is a Madison native and former administrator; and Dr. Yvonne Stokes, a career educator who most recently served as superintendent at Hamilton Southeastern Schools, one of the largest school districts in Indiana.
Following completion of the finalist interviews, the board will review interview notes and feedback provided from the community and interview panels. Next, the board will select the candidate it intends to appoint as the next superintendent of MMSD.
The interview schedule and a link to provide feedback on the livestreamed interviews are posted on the MMSD website, along with the details and timeline of the superintendent search process.
