Schools in Miami, OK, now have an interim superintendent.

 The Miami Public Schools have hired Keni Iverson to serve as as superintendent while the search for their next superintendent gets underway.

Expressing her enthusiasm for the new role, Keni Iverson stated, “I’m excited to get back to the Wardog Way and do what’s best for our students by working collaboratively with our admin and community so we can build a strong foundation for the next superintendent.”

Iverson has previously served as an assistant superintendent and is expected to help the district continue to pursue academic excellence.

The Miami Public Schools Board of Education is confident that Keni Iverson’s leadership will continue to propel the district forward on its path of success. Chuck McKibben, board president said, “I’m extremely proud of the board and how we handled the process of appointing an interim. The collaboration, discussions, and passion are motivated by our desire to do what is best for our students and to provide support for our district employees.” 

Iverson fills the position after the abrupt resignation by Nick Highsmith last week.

The district will officially begin the search for a new superintendent on July 1.
