The Miami East school board has approved a six-phase superintendent search process, according to the social media post.
“The plan emphasizes stakeholder engagement, including opportunities for staff, parents, and community members to share their perspectives on the qualities, leadership attributes, and experience they value most in Miami East’s next leader,” the school district said.
During Hughes’ tenure, Miami East earned multiple five-star ratings on the state report.
“His commitment to academic excellence and community partnership has positioned the district strongly for its next chapter,” the school district added.
The search process is underway to identify a finalist by the end of April.
