The Washoe County School Board voted Tuesday to bring back former Superintendent Kristen McNeill to serve as the district’s interim superintendent while it looks for a permanent leader. Her first day will be Wednesday, Dec. 13.
McNeill’s hiring comes after her successor, Superintendent Susan Enfield, announced plans to leave the district in February for personal reasons. Enfield said she’s committed to supporting McNeill to ensure a seamless transition.
Board members said McNeill, who led the district from April 2019 to June 2022 as both interim and acting superintendent, has all the qualifications necessary to keep the school district on track with its strategic plan.
Board President Beth Smith said McNeill will pause her retirement and pension while she’s serving as interim superintendent.
McNeill will stay in the role until a permanent superintendent is appointed. Smith said McNeill isn’t interested in staying on as superintendent in the long term.
