SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – Santa Fe Public Schools is searching for a new superintendent and wants the community’s input on their possible selection. Last month, then-Superintendent HIlario “Larry” Chavez resigned from the position, with the Board of Education voting unanimously to accept it.
Chavez was accused of sexually harassing a former assistant principal and city councilor. The district previously said they had already begun the process of finding a new superintendent.
Now, they have announced several forums open to the community to give their input. The first of those forms will be on Wednesday, March 19, at 6:00 p.m. at Piñon Elementary School. The board is hoping to find a replacement by July 1.
