Mason Public Schools Selects Next Superintendent
Tonight, the Mason Public Schools Board of Education met with the final three Superintendent candidates.
After much input from stakeholders and hearing from all the candidates, the Board voted to offer Dr. Gary Kinzer the position as the next Superintendent of Mason Public Schools. The district will now enter contract negotiations to determine a start date and terms of employment.
Dr. Kinzer is currently the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources at Novi Community Schools. Prior to his time at Novi Community Schools, he served at Okemos for 24 years as a High School English Teacher, Middle School Assistant Principal and Elementary Principal. His wife, Marcy, also worked at Mason Public Schools for over 14 years.
Thank you to all who were able to attend the meetings and provide input throughout this process.
