Rogers City Area Schools may have a part-time superintendent. David O’Bryant, current high school principal and athletic director will be negotiating a contract with the district.
Board member Ivy Cook moved “that the Board of Education authorize the hiring of Mr. David O’Bryant as part-time superintendent of the Rogers City Area Schools subject to a negotiated contract between interim superintendent Lee Sandy, board president John Krajenta and Mr. O’Bryant,” Cory Budnick supported the motion.
Before a vote was taken board members made several comments. The motion passed by a 4-1 vote with board member Bryan Hall voting against it. Board members Deedra Haselhuhn and Don Kromer were absent from the meeting.
O’Bryant is a finalist for a full-time superintendent position at Benzie Central Schools. He was asked what his intention was by board member Frank Andrews.
“My intention is that I will go to the interview, I will sit down and negotiate a contract. If a contract is reached here and agreeable to both sides I will withdraw my name,” said O’Bryant.
