Harrisburg School District will begin the search for a new top official.
On Tuesday, the district shared that Superintendent Eric Turman was officially appointed as the superintendent of Central Dauphin School District and will leave Harrisburg.
In a release, Harrisburg School District receiver Dr. Lori Suski congratulated Turman and said that the district would begin looking for a new superintendent.
“I am committed to a very thorough and transparent search process for a new superintendent that will include a considerable amount of employee, parent and community stakeholder input and involvement,” Suski said.
She also noted that she will consider appointing an interim superintendent while the search process takes place.
At the next school board meeting on May 28, Suski expects to have an update on leadership transition plans and the timing of Turman’s transition to Central Dauphin, she said.
Turman’s leaving may also impact the district’s reconfiguration, which is slated to begin this coming school year and involves closing some school buildings, opening others and shifting some grades to new buildings, Suski said. She also plans to have more information about that next week.
“Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this time of transition,” she said. “We are firmly committed to supporting our students and staff and look forward to a positive end to the school year.”
