It’s not yet known who will be the next Platte County R-3 superintendent, but it is known what process the district will use in looking for Don Siegrist’s replacement. Siegrist has announced he will retire effective at the end of June. The board of education has hired a consultant to assist in the search for his replacement. Gale Bartow, senior search consultant, and Robert Gill, associate, of Bartow and Associates, already have a search for candidates up and running. Their firm has a contract to do consulting work with the Missouri School Boards Association, of which R-3 is a member. Their fee will be 4.5 percent of the first year’s salary paid to the new superintendent.
Mr. and Mrs. James R. Johnson of Smithville announce the engagement of their daughter Kimberly Sue Johnson, to Adam Michael McGinness of Platte City.
