Bob Connors Resigns from Glasgow Takes Superintendent Job in Bozeman

In an unscheduled meeting of the Glasgow School Board June 21, Superintendent of Glasgow Schools Bob Connors resigned his position. He will be leaving to take the superintendent job for the Bozeman School District.

The Bozeman School District oversees the education of some 7,000 students compared to the 850 students in Glasgow. The Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported that the board in Bozeman was evenly split on their decision to hire Connors with half the Board wanting to hire him and the other half wanting to choose an interim while a nationwide search was conducted. The final decision, however, came down to a seven to one vote to hire Connors.

There was no discussion at the Glasgow School Board meeting on June 21 about the next step for the district. Given the time frame before the school year starts, Glasgow could enter next year without a superintendent or with an interim in place.
