State Representative Vernon Smith, D-Gary, speaks to local education leaders during the annual Northwest Indiana School Superintendents’ Luncheon at Indiana University Northwest in Gary on March 1, 2024. Smith is urging the Gary school board to speed up its superintendent search, so the candidate has ample time to get up to speed with the district and community.
He said the Northwest Indiana legislative delegation wanted the new leader to be in place by spring at the latest. A timeline for the superintendent, however, wasn’t included in the law that revamped the district, giving it an appointed school board. In October, school board chairman Michael Suggs said the board likely wouldn’t be able to make an offer to a candidate until March.
