Press Release<\/strong>
\nSoldotna, January 31, 2012\u2014Dr. Atwater will continue to serve as Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Superintendent!<\/strong>
\nQuestions and speculations about a potential superintendent for Anchorage and perhaps the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District began circulating several weeks ago. In December,\u00a0 2011, Anchorage School District announced KPBSD Superintendent Atwater was one of two finalists in a national superintendent search to replace Ms. Carol Comeau, who will retire in June, 2012. After hearing the Anchorage School District superintendent announcement this morning, Mr. Joe Arness, the KPBSD School Board President said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with mixed emotion that we acknowledge the news this morning that Dr. Atwater was not chosen as the new Anchorage Superintendent.\u00a0 On the one hand, it was a courageous decision on his part to make the effort and apply for that job. On the other hand, this news means that we can continue on with the business of providing a first class educational experience for our District’s students without the distraction of a search for a new superintendent. Clearly, however, the\u00a0fact\u00a0that\u00a0our superintendent was a finalist for such a high profile position is a credit to our students, staff, and communities as well as a credit to Dr. Atwater himself.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dr. Atwater serves as one of nine commissioners for the Professional Teaching Practices Commission (PTPC), and is in Anchorage for a previously scheduled PTPC meeting all day today, January 31, 2012. He says,<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI was honored to be chosen as a finalist and appreciate our School Board, employees, and community support through this time. I offer my congratulations to Dr. Browder, and appreciate the Anchorage School Board selecting me as a finalist. The application process was a positive experience; it helped me gain a deeper understanding of education in Anchorage and Alaska. I look forward to continuing the good work that we are doing to give our students here on the Kenai a world class education.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
