CONWAY — The SAU 9 Board hopes to have a new superintendent here in the district by Aug. 12, pending state approval of Dr. Kathryn Morem’s credentials by the state Department of Education, which as of Thursday had reviewed and cleared 75 percent of her paperwork.
Morem, 54, of Jupiter, Fla., has been in constant contact with SAU 9 Chair Nancy Kelemen and Vice Chair Mike DiGregorio since being offered the post on June 13 and has been working to make sure she has the necessary superintendent credentials for New Hampshire.
