Retired Washoe County Superintendent Kristen McNeill may return to lead the district once again — on an interim basis, according to the agenda for the Washoe County School Board’s meeting next Tuesday.
McNeill’s potential hiring comes almost two weeks after her successor, Superintendent Susan Enfield, announced plans to leave the district in February for personal reasons. Enfield’s resignation came less than two years after her hiring.
McNeill became the district’s interim superintendent in July 2019 after the school board terminated the previous superintendent. McNeill later became the full-time superintendent in April 2020 and retired last June.
If approved, McNeill’s first day back will be Dec. 13.
According to a draft employment agreement, the board is considering paying McNeill a gross annual salary of $285,000. The agreement states McNeill would stay in the role until a permanent superintendent is appointed.
