Benicia Unified School District trustees agreed Thursday to explore its options in contracting McPherson & Jacobson LLC to search for a new superintendent to replace Janice Adams, who will retire at the end of the 2014-15 school year.
Trustees also approved a one-year pilot program between the district and SolTrans for discounted student bus passes for income-eligible students for the 2015 calendar year.
Board President Gary Wing said trustees wanted to be as transparent as possible in selecting a new superintendent, a process of finding “the best people who are going to meet the best needs of our schools and our community.”
