The Maroa-Forsyth School Board will begin a search for a new superintendent this summer.

Dr. Kris Kahler, current Maroa-Forsyth Superintendent, indicated Tuesday on the WHOW Morning Show he has taken a position with the Rochester school district.

Dr. Kahler says the biggest highlight of his tenure as superintendent was building the new middle school. He notes when he took over as superintendent the Maroa-Forsyth schools had recently undergone budget cuts.

The current financial state of the school district is great according to Dr. Kahler. He says they have worked to make investments for the future so the district can weather a possible recession.

Dr. Kahler hopes the school district's investments will help keep their facilities in top shape for years to come as well as keep them from having to make severe budget cuts in the future.

The Maroa-Forsyth school board will begin looking for Dr. Kahler's replacement within the coming weeks and will have a new hire sometime at the beginning of the new school year.
