CONWAY — While school administrators across SAU 9 are gathering this week for their annual goal-setting retreat, they are doing so without a superintendent guiding the discussion.
School officials negotiating a deal with superintendent candidate Dr. Kathryn Morem of Jupiter, Fla., reported that her credentials are still being reviewed by the New Hampshire Department of Education. Morem is not certified as a superintendent in the Granite State but isn’t very far off, according to some school officials.
