DELTA TWP. — Waverly Community Schools has named Glenn Mitcham, a top East Lansing schools administrator, as its next superintendent.
He will step into the district’s top position pending the successful negotiation of his contract, the district said on its Facebook page.
Mitcham has been working as East Lansing Public Schools’ deputy superintendent.
“Mitcham’s approachability, sincerity, experience working in highly successful districts and planned strategic focus on the district’s mission to meet the needs of students became the deciding factor for many Board members,” the post said, adding that the school board made its superintendent decision on Thursday, Aug. 7.
The district started with about 30 candidates seeking to replace Kelly Blake, said Tim Stein, regional president of the Michigan Leadership Institute
Blake retired earlier this year as superintendent. She had served nearly 10 years as superintendent.
