The Great Falls Public Schools district has received two applications for superintendent.

In November, the school board hired the Montana School Boards Association to conduct the search for a new superintendent.

District staff worked with MTSBA to create a superintendent advertisement. The board budget committee met Dec. 5 and reviewed current AA superintendent salaries and recommended the salary range be $175,000 to $185,000.

[Trustee Bill Bronson] said the district gave enough time for applications but was “obviously disappointed,” to only receive two applications.

In February 2021, [Superintendent Tom] Moore’s salary was $160,000 and the board approved a three year increase to $165,000 for the next school year, $170,000 the second year and $175,000 the third year.

The Electric first reported on Nov. 13 that Superintendent Tom Moore is retiring effective June 30, 2024.
