The district must choose a new administrator to replace retiring superintendent Scott Reynolds.

Justin Gluesing, Crawford-AuSable School District superintendent, and Dan O’Connor, Alcona Community Schools superintendent, and three other candidates appeared for interviews at special AMA ESD Board of Education meetings this week.

Gluesing and O’Connor will again appear before the board for separate interviews on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. at the AMA ESD building. The public may attend the interviews.

Gluesing filled several administrative roles for Alpena Public Schools for 15 years before taking a position with the Crawford-AuSable School District in 2019.

O’Connor has worked in the Alcona Community School district since 2006, first as a teacher and then in administration roles.

The AME ESD board also interviewed Pamela Campbell, Joseph Perrara, and Jeff Terpenning for the superintendent position.
