Over the past several weeks the Town of Webb Board of Education has been conducting a search to replace Superintendent Gooley who will be retiring on January 31, 2012.

Later on Wednesday, community members, non-instructional faculty, and instructional faculty are welcome to meet at the school library at 5:50 p.m.
