| February 14, 2020 Dear MUSD Parent/Guardian: As you are aware, I will be retiring on June 30, 2020. It has been my greatest honor to serve as the Superintendent of the Marana Unified School District since July 2008, working with outstanding Governing Board members, educators, staff, and leadership. Marana is a very special place where everyone shares a passion for your student's well-being and success. With that said, I am writing to provide you an update regarding the superintendent search and selection process. Following a nationwide search over the past several months, experienced search firm Ray and Associates, Inc. received 45 applications for superintendent and identified 11 candidates to bring to the MUSD Governing Board based on criteria set by the Governing Board with input provided by parents, employees, and community members. During a meeting on January 30, 2020, the Governing Board narrowed the 11 candidates to a list of six semifinalists for interview. On February 7 and 8, the Governing Board conducted interviews. At last night's Governing Board meeting, the board voted 5-0, in favor to hire Dr. Dan Streeter, effective July 1, 2020. Dr. Dan Streeter currently serves as the superintendent for the Humboldt Unified School District in Prescott Valley, Arizona. Currently in his fifth year as the superintendent for Yavapai County's largest school district, Dr. Streeter leads a major strategic reform plan focused on redefining, redesigning and reimagining education with a focus on a collaborative system-wide vision of 21st century education. Prior to his service as the superintendent, Dr. Streeter served as an assistant superintendent, director of human resources and principal for the Humboldt Unified School District. Dr. Streeter earned his Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University with a research emphasis in personalized learning environments. Additionally, he received his National Superintendent Certificate from the American Association of School Administrator's (AASA) as a part of the 2019 West Coast Cohort. Dr. Streeter, his wife, and two children have lived in the Prescott area for the past eleven years. I am confident that Dr. Streeter will work hard on behalf of your student and family, our staff, and the Marana community. Dr. Streeter is looking forward to joining MUSD and becoming a part of a district that has embraced new models of engagement that are learner-centered aligned with a strong focus on the empowerment of teachers. He has already shared his belief that together, working hand in hand with teachers, staff, leaders, parents, community members and students, the District will continue to evolve into the future establishing a national model of educational excellence. Thank you for your ongoing support of our outstanding District. I wish you the very best and know that great things will continue in MUSD. Regards, Doug Wilson, Ed.D.
