Hays CISD may name a new interim superintendent as early as next week, according to the agenda for a meeting posted Thursday afternoon.

According to the agenda, the Hays CISD board of trustees will hold a special meeting Tuesday, June 13 to possibly select an interim superintendent.

Chief Operations Officer Carter Scherff has served as acting superintendent since Michael McKie left the district last month.

The interim superintendent is still a temporary position, Public Information Officer Tim Savoy said. Once that slot is filled, the next step would be for the board of trustees to select a search firm to find a permanent superintendent, if they choose to use a firm.

Savoy said that most likely, January 2018 would be the earliest a new permanent superintendent would start.
