Members of the Gloversville Board of Education have decided to reopen the search for superintendent of schools after contract negotiations broke down with candidate selected for the position due to issues regarding residency requirements.

“It’s unfortunate that this wasn’t a match, but by widening the pool of candidates we are optimistic that the right candidate will be identified,” said Board of Education President Pete Semione.

The position has been open since Rob DeLilli left in summer 2011 to serve the Greater Johnstown School District. The original pool of 12 candidates was narrowed down to three in January 2012. Interim Superintendent Cliff Moses will continue to head up the district until a new superintendent has been selected.
