Gilbert Public Schools has selected McPherson & Jacobson as the firm that will guide its search for a new superintendent.

The Governing Board voted unanimously Sept. 15 to hire the Omaha, Nebraska-based executive search firm.

Governing Board President Chad Thompson said the board weighed several considerations, with prior work in Arizona being a key reason McPherson stood out. Among the districts for which the firm has conducted searches are Dysart, Peoria and Scottsdale unified school districts and Mesa Public Schools.

U.S. vs. Mexico: ‘War’ that ends at final whistle in Glendale

OPINION — On Saturday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m., the United States’ men’s soccer team will play Mexico at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. On paper, it is a friendly.
