The Ann Arbor Board of Education meets at 4 p.m. Wednesday to discuss new options for filling the district's vacant superintendent position, and AnnArbor.com will be covering it live.
The board has been forced to regroup and consider some Plan B alternatives, after its first choice for filling the leadership role, South Orange-Maplewood School District Superintendent Brian Osborne, declined the board's job offer Saturday.
Osborne left the board waiting for an answer for a little more than a week, while he weighed the possibility of moving from New Jersey to Ann Arbor with his family. In a statement he released Sunday about his reasons for declining the superintendency, Osborne cited an ailing family member, concerns about moving his young children and a desire to finish what he started at his district in New Jersey.
The meeting, which is being conducted in the Balas Administration Building's Main Conference Room, 2555 S. State St., will get underway shortly. Follow along in the live blog below.
