Superintendent announces his retirement date

Weiser School District Superintendent Wil Overgaard is planning to retire after 25 years as an administrator.
 Overgaard made the announcement at Monday night’s school board meeting in Weiser.
 Overgaard was hired as superintendent after the retirement of his predecessor, Jim Reed, in 2012.  
 He has led the Weiser School District for the past seven years and will end his term on June 30, 2019, according to a news release from the school district.
 Overgaard began his career in education at BorahHigh School in 1978 where he taught Social Studies until 1984. He then taught at Bishop Kelly High School from 1984-1986.  
 He returned to Borah High School to teach until 1994 when he accepted the position as high school assistant principal in the Weiser School District.  
 He has since served as high school principal, federal programs director and finally as superintendent. 
 Overgaard thanked the Weiser Board of Trustees for their support and their dedication to the children of the district.  
 He stated he is “proud to have had the opportunity to work with such a fine group of administrators, staff, and to live in a community that loves children and supports their schools.”  
 Overgaard and his wife, Megan, a Weiser High School biology teacher, have four children, Elise, Mikel, Willie and Ana.  They have one granddaughter, Adella Mae “Addie” Overgaard.
 The school district has an in-district candidate who will be interviewed for the position by the board of trustees at a special meeting held for that purpose. 
 The trustees hope to have an announcement of Overgaard’s successor on or before Feb. 1.
