Former Deputy Superintendent named Interim Superintendent

Former Walla Walla Public Schools Deputy Superintendent Dr. Bill Jordan was unanimously named interim superintendent during the June 17, 2014 school board meeting. This agreement is pending a mutually agreed upon contract. Jordan replaces Superintendent Mick Miller who accepted a position with Northeast Washington Educational Service District 101 in Spokane. Jordan, who served as the district’s deputy superintendent from 2004 to 2010, will begin his tenure July 1.

Jordan’s responsibilities will include providing leadership to the school board, promoting a common vision for future success of the school district and assisting the school board in the selection process for a permanent superintendent.

“Dr. Bill Jordan has the experience necessary to lead the district during this time of transition and we are excited to have him on our team again,” said School Board President Anne Golden. “He has a proven record of success, an effective leadership style we are familiar with and the ability to bring people together with a common vision.”

Jordan’s career features vast experience in the field of education. He most recently was the superintendent in the Prescott School District from 2010 to 2013. He spent three years as Coe Partnership Center Director for Washington State University. He was Deputy Superintendent for the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for four years, Superintendent of Kelso School District for five years, and Associate Superintendent of Richland School District for three years. He served for nine years as a principal and assistant principal for Walla Walla Public Schools and as a classroom teacher for nine years in the Walla Walla school district. Jordan completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Idaho.

The Walla Walla Public Schools Board of Directors will conduct a search for a permanent superintendent beginning this fall.
