The Crookston School Board interviewed five candidates for the next Crookston School District Superintendent on Tuesday to replace the retiring Dave Kuehn.
After the five interviews, the board took input from staff and community members that also attended the interviews and narrowed it down to three candidates before unanimously selecting current Osakis School District Superintendent Randy Bergquist as the next Crookston School District Superintendent. Bergquist is married and has three children, and looks forward to taking the job in Crookston. “He accepted the job, and we will have a special board meeting on Monday afternoon,” said Crookston School Board Chair Frank Fee.
“Randy impressed us last night at the interview. He is a collaborative leader and involves his staff as well as the community,” said Crookston School Board member Mike Theis. “We received a lot of feedback from the community that he was at events, is involved, and was a volunteer fireman. The biggest thing that separated Randy was the feedback we got from all levels of staff (at Osakis) was extraordinary.”
KROX talked with Bergquist, and the full interview is below.
