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.
